esther phillips - set me free lyrics

[spoken intro]
i was out having a dinner
with a couple of friends of mine the other day
and when we finished eating
i walked outside to get a little fresh air
the place was a little hot and smoky
and i was a little lonesome
and when i walked back inside
i could see in her face there was a terrible argument going on
and i’ve heard him say to her in a soft voice
“why don’t you just, you know… why don’t you set me free?”

[verse 1]
if you think you’ve had enough
if you think our life’s been rough
why not take your lovelight off of me
and set me free?

[verse 2]
if you think our love’s all wrong
and you feel the fire is gone
if i’m not, if i’m not what you’d like for me to be
come on and set me free
then i heard him say

[chorus]
set me free and let me fly
like a bluebird flying high
release the chains that bind
you and me (you and me)
and set me free
[spoken interlude]
and as i stood there and listened to them argue
i said, i didn’t know what’s going on between two of them
because they seemed to be so happy
and i thought to myself
i hope this never happens to my love affair
because i don’t think i could stand to hear my baby say to me
“baby, set me free, hey baby, set me free, huh?”

[chorus]
set me free and let me fly
like a bluebird flying high
release the chains that bind
you and me (you and me)
hey baby, set me free
(set me free, set me free)

[chorus]
set me free and let me fly
i wanna fly like a bluebird flying high
release the chains that bind
you and me (you and me)
come on set me free
(set me free)

[chorus]
set me free cause i’ve just got to fly
i wanna fly like a bluebird flying high
release the chains that bind…
