We fell in love on the first night that we met,
Together weâve been happy,I have very few regrets.
The ordinary problems have not been hard to face,
but lately little changes have been slowly taking place.
Youâre always finding something is wrong in what I do,
but you canât rearrange my life because it pleases you.
(Chorus)
Youâve got to LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM for simply being me.
Donât love me for what you intend or hope that I will be,
And if youâre only using me to feed your fantasy,
youâre really not in love, so let me go.
I must be free.
If what you want isnât natural for me,
I wonât pretend to keep you, what I am I have to be.
The picture of perfection is only in your mind,
for all you expectations love can never be designed.
We either take each other for ev'rything we are,
or leave the life weâve made behind and make another start.
Youâve got to LOVE ME FOR WHAT I AM for simply being me.
Donât love me for what you intend or hope that I will be,
And if youâre only using me to feed your fantasy,
youâre really not in love, so let me go.
I must be free.
And if youâre only using me to feed your fantasy,
youâre really not in love, so let me go.
I must be free.
Youâre really not in love, so let me go.
I must be free.
(I must be free)
Oh, I must be free.
