Teddy Pendergrass - Set Me Free Lyrics

Set me free
Take these chains from my aching heart
And let me be
Set me free, yes
Wipe these tears from my weary eyes
And let me see
Why, why do I hang on your every word?
I feel so hurt every time you push me aside
And every time I swallow my pride

Set me free
Break the spell that's hanging over me
Baby, please, let me be
Let the rivers run into the sea
Now truthfully, love, love was so easier
A time, a place, you can't erase
All the thoughts run through my mind
Lying to me time after time

Baby, won't you
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wanna be alone
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't take it any longer
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on, take these chains, take these chains away from me
Let me live again and again and again

Every time you push me aside
And every time I swallow my pride

Baby, won't you
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wanna be alone, yeah
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can't take it any longer
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on, take these chains
Come on, take these chains away from me
Take 'em away from me
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I wanna be alone, yeah
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can't take it any longer
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on, take these chains
Take 'em, take 'em, take 'em away from me
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Set me free, set me free, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
