I won't let you down
I will not give youup
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's theone good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry school girl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race?
A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same (no way)
Think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me

Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
Wehad every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change(oh yeah)
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's some thing deep inside of me
There's some one I forgot to be Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get
I say that's what you get

That'swhat you get for changing your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

I'll hold onto my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now I've got to live

(got to live, got to live)
