Free Love - Bobby Womack

This is a real cruel story in this world, right?

It’s just a fact of life

I don’t care how you look at it

But you got to look at it with your good eye

Check it out

Now let me tell you the truth

I want to make love to you

I dream of your sweet body

And how nice it be loving you tonight

Now, we both are old enough

To do whatever, ever, uh, we want

But sometimes I leave you without

In order to keep things right

Because the love I give to you, baby, is free love

Not just how much can you do for me, love

The love I give to you, baby, is free love

Not just how much can you do for me

They call it free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

They call it free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down, listen to me now

Some of the guys might tell you tales

Trying to lay your body down

And they’ll leave you sleeping on the bitterness

And be nowhere around

They wanna feel nice for one night

But couldn’t pay the price for the rest of your life

Before we get physical, we need to take some time

But before I touch your body, I gotta touch your mind

'Cause the love I give to you, baby, is free love

Not just how much can you do for me, love

The love I give to you, baby, is free love

Not just how much can you do for me

They call it free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

They call it free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Yeah, you better watch that, baby

Don’t give it up too fast

You gotta check him out

You gotta sorta step back and look at him with your good eye

When guys get talking

They’ll say anything to get it

I know, I’ve been there

They call it free love, but you got to watch today

You might get something

I’ve been driving down the street on patrol duty

Trying to lay somebody down

But my eyes was moving in a nervous wreck

I couldn’t know where to be found

I said, «Lady, you’ve better drive a little faster

Somebody’s running along the side

He said, «Adjust your mirror, and if it’s really true

You better jump out and try to hide»

He said

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down

Free love, free love

Trying to lay your body down
