Free - Johnnie Taylor

Honey, stop your lies

You ain’t got to lie no more

Sugar, stop your cheating

You ain’t got to cheat no more

'Cause the lowdown dirty things

You do at night

At last it come to the light

And I can see clearly now

Take off your mask, baby

I can see straight through your soul

And what I see was a doggone thing

I can’t understand why I didn’t see it before

You misused my love for so long

You throw me love like you throw a dog a bone

And that’s why the name of this song is called

Free, glad I got over you

I wanna say that one more time

For the benefit of those who didn’t hear me

I said I’m free, free, I’m glad I gotten over you

Listen to me

When you do me like you do me

Tell me what else can a poor boy do?

I want you listen to this

Let the four winds blow

Let them blow

If you turn I’d be your sweet angel tomorrow

Loving you I just couldn’t see, guess why

You misused my love for so long

You throw me love like you’re throwing a old dog of bone

It’s one thing I wanna explain about that bone

You gave away the steak and you know that’s wrong

Even dogs get tired and he will bury that bone

I said I’m free, I’m over you

I’m free and I’m over you

Listen to it

Sitting at home alone

By the rain is falling

Looking at the phone, baby

But you never, never call me

I gotta tell, free, baby, free baby, yes, I am

And I’m over you, I’m gonna say one more time

Free, oh, oh, honey, thank God I’m free at last, baby

And you don’t worry me, I told you a long time ago

That just a matter of time that I would have my freedom I feel only you
