She had a-hold of me, what could I see?
Nothing but trouble and I wanna be free!
Nothing but sorrow, things were looking glum,
There was nowhere to run,
I was under he thumb,
Our love was strong - true and fair,
But I had to get away, get her outta my hair!
Dancin' to a tune, that's not the way I wanna be!
I wanna get out and I wanna be free!

Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!
Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!

I'm single and free, a whole new life,
But you're steppin' on my heels,
Givin' me trouble and strife,
She can't give up - she can't let go,
Telling me things I just don't wanna know!
She wants me back:
*And I promise to be nice!*
...Yeah right, not the same mistake twice!
I won't fall for that, she won't get to me,
I used to be in check but tonight I'm free!

Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!
Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!

You only get one chance!
One life!
I was caught, trapped...
...Twice!
Don't you know that love hurts,
But now that she's gone...
Tonight I'm free!

Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!
Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!
Rip it up right now!
Tonight I'm free!
