Gone are the days when it felt so wrong
Girl I knew you had it in you all along
Kept thinking you had no-one without that man
Now you're moving on and you've got a plan

He kept you like a bird, slowly clipped your wings
You tried to escape, didn't come to anything
Under his thumb, you wouldn't dare to break away
Upon your mind, his nasty words and tricks did play

Now you're free
You're in demand
So show him what he used to have
And now show him what he can't
You've got all your love to give
And all your time to commit
Without that man, without that man

He's knocking at your door, you try your hardest to ignore
I know that its been hard, now you're sleeping on the floor
You're in a new town, you've got no time to be down
It's only up from here, your luck has finally come around

Now you're free
You're in demand
So show him what he used to have
And now show him what he can't
You've got all your love to give
And all your time to commit
Without that man, without that man
