Set Me Free (Rosa Lee) - Los Lobos

When love’s in vain, love can be so strange

There ain’t nothing I can take to kill this pain

Set me free

Why don’t you, Rosa Lee?

She is a dream, but she’s so hard to please

She moves around like an Egyptian queen

Set me free

Why don’t you, Rosa Lee?

I’m so afraid of losing you

But there’s only so much that a man can do

For Rosa Lee

Why don’t you set me free?

When I hit the road the time goes slow

Thinking about the places I used to go

With Rosa Lee

Why won’t you set me free?

They’re trying to close the Tu y Yo

The Latin Playboy and the Sky Room shows

Oh!

Rosa Lee

Why don’t they let them be?

I can’t get used to losing you

But there’s only so much that a man can do

For Rosa Lee

Why don’t you set me free?

When love’s in vain, love can be so strange

But I never thought I’d wear a ball and chain

Set me free

Why don’t you, Rosa Lee?
