If my words should ever strike you like the rattlin' of chains
And my voice should ever make you long for trains and boats and planes
May I live a million years and never feel your touch again

I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
[ ac.guitar ]
If you ever get to feeling that you've stayed away too long
And something I have said makes you dread just coming home
May I live a lonely life without a love to call my own
I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
I want you free I want you free unwilling love ain't good enough for me
Though heaven knows I love your lovin' me I want you free I want you free
[ ac.guitar ]
If you ever cease you love me never think that I won't know
If you ever come to me just cause there's no place else to go
May the next one that you love destroy your spirit and your soul
I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
I want you free...
