I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!

Girl, every time that I tell you, tell you
I want to go and try to experience what
You always seem to get angry, angry
Baby, you are holding me too tight
Let me go now, baby!

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!

Girl, don't forget that I love you, love you
It's just as hard for me as it is for you
You understand that I hope so, I hope so
You'll miss me and I'll be missing you
Let me go now, baby!

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!

I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!
I've gotta be free!

I've gotta be free!
Get my life free indeed
Don't think I don't want you
I've got to succeed
Girl, I've got dreams, I've got hope, I've got plans
I'm going to the future
Make myself a man
I've gotta be free!

We spend much time together, together
Maybe we should take a break
Spend some time apart
See all the world has to offer, offer
Maybe I'll come back to you a star
So I've got to go now

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!

I've gotta be free! Let me be free! I've gotta be me!
I want to be free! Let me be me! I've gotta be me!
Lady, won't you please?
Let me be! I've gotta be me!
I've gotta be free!
