[Intro]
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free

[Verse 1]
If you need somebody
(Free, free, set them free)
Call my name
(Free, free, set them free)
If you want someone
(Free, free, set them free)
You can do the same
(Free, free, set them free)
If you want to keep something precious
(Free, free, set them free)
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
(Free, free, set them free)
If you want to hold onto your possession
(Free, free, set them free)
Don't even think about me
(Free, free, set them free)

[Chorus]
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone
(Love somebody)
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)

[Verse 2]
If it's a mirror you want
Just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy
Someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be

[Chorus]
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone
(Love somebody)
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)

[Bridge]
You can't control an independent heart
Can't tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see that we want to possess

[Verse 2]
If you need somebody
Call my name
If you want someone
You can do, you can do, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
Want to hold onto your possession?
Don't even think about me

[Chorus]
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone
(Love somebody)
If you love somebody
(Love somebody)
If you love someone set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free, free, free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free, free, free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free, free, free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free, free, free
(Free, free, set them free)
(Free, free, set them free)
(Free, free, set them free)
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
