free to be me

Singer: rick james

i'm up

down

middle of my room

someone got excited

someone dropped the spoon

a joke

a smoke

i'm crawling on my knees

i'm feeling paranoia

someone rock it

please

a place

a space

any box will do

just don't let the sun in

please

until i'm through

a room

a tomb

with all those doctors there

asking crazy questions

aren't they well aware?

i'm free to be me

i'm wild as a cat

busy as a bee

free to be me

i do what i choose

i done paid my dues

i'm free to be me

ask me why i dare

i'll say i don't care

i'm free to be me

until the end of time

i'll say what's on my mind

baby

day and night

there's always someone there

watching like an angel

do angels really care?

i stand

i fall

just one day at a time

i keep my life together

but i can change my mind

i love

i lust

but even more i care

sex is not a fashion

something that you wear

the truth

the lies

i hear them all the time

coming from a stranger

a real good friend of mine

i'm free to be me

i'm wild as a cat

busy as a bee

free to be me

i do what i choose

i done paid my dues

you can say what you feel

i paid dues to be for real

i can afford to wave my freak flag high

free to be me

a funky millionaire

my god has placed me there

free to be me

when i'm on the down

he brings me back around

baby

free! free! free!

sing it to me

baby-baby-baby-baby. free!

free!.
