I won't let you down 
I will not give you up 
Gotta have some faith in the sound 
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down 

So please don't give me up 
Because I would really, really love to stick around, stick around 

Heaven knows I was such a young boy 
I didn't know what I wanted to be 
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy 
And I guess it was enough for me 
To win the race? 
A prettier face! 
Brand new clothes and a big fat place 
On your rock and roll TV 
But today the way I play the game has got to change 
Oh yeah 
And now I'm gonna get me so happy 

I think there's something you should know 
I think it's time I told you so 
There's something deep inside of me 
There's someone else I've got to be 
Take back your picture in a frame 
Take back your singing in the rain 
I just hope you understand 
Somehow the clothes do not make the man 
All we have to do now 
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see 
Is that I don't belong to you 
And you don't belong to me yeah yeah 

Freedom) 
I won't let you down 
(Freedom)
I will not give you up 
(Freedom) 
You've gotta have some faith in the sound
(You've gotta give for what you take) 
it's the one good thing that I've got 
(Freedom) 
I won't let you down 
(Freedom) 
So please don't give me up 
(Freedom) 
Because I would really really love to stick around, stick around 

(You've gotta give for what you take) 
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy 
What a kick just my buddies and me 
(What a kick just my buddies and me)
We won the race Got out of the place 
I went back home got a brand new face 
For the boys on MTV (boys on MTV) 
But today the way I play the game has got to change 
Oh yeah And now I'm gonna get myself happy 

I think there's something you should know 
I think it's time I stopped the show 
There's something deep inside of me 
There's someone I forgot to be 
Take back your picture in a frame 
Don't think that I'll be back again 
I just hope you understand 
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow 
All we have to see 
Is that I don't belong to you 
And you don't belong to me yeah yeah 

(Freedom) 
I won't let you down 
(Freedom) 
I will not give you up
(Freedom) 
You've gotta have some faith in the sound 
(You've gotta give for what you take) 
it's the one good thing that I've got
(Freedom) 
I won't let you down
(Freedom) 
So please don't give me up
(Freedom) 
Because I would really really love to stick around, stick around 
(You've gotta give for what you take) 

Well it looks like the road to heaven 
But it feels like the road to hell 
And when you shake your ass 
They notice fast 
Some mistakes were built to last 
That's what you get 
That's what you get I just hope you understand 
sometimes the clothes do not make the man 
All we have to see now 
Is that I don't belong to you 
And you don't belong to me yeah yeah 

(repeat chorus)
