If You Love Somebody Set Them Free
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Dont even think about me
If you love somebody, set them free
If its a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just cant see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
Thats all some people ever want to be
If you love somebody, set them free
You cant control an independent heart
Cant tear the one you love apart
Forever conditioned to believe that we cant live
We cant live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see we want to possess
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Dont even think about me
If you love somebody, set them free

Prisoner
Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
Theyre locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Shouldve known from
The start you were wrong
Im just a prisoner
Dont wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
Im a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins
But I cant get no sleep
You lock my heart
In these prison walls
This place Ive got to leave
Im a prisoner
Dont wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
Im a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
The sky is grey, its raining
Like the storm in my heart
There aint no use explaining
cause Im leaving, leaving
Wont somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Wont somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free

Might Be Your Love
Written by dewey bunnell, 1980
Found on alibi.
Sometimes when youre there all alone
Someone will call you at home
You dont want to but pick up the phone
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone who you thought would belong
Came passing, moved right along
You dont know why but something went wrong
Might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Someone to hold you, someone to hold
Some girl who you watched at her desk
Came dancing on with her dress
And she looked up and wouldnt you guess
She might be your love
Might be your heart
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
(someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your heart (someone to hold you)
Might be your love (someone to hold)
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark
Might be your love (might be your love)
Might be your heart (might be your heart)
Someone to hold you
All alone in the dark ...

For A Song
What good is money unless it brings
That certain something
For the girl whos got everything
Here is an item you cant pass by
Wont even cost you one thin dime
I wont give up until you own me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Precious possession, your private property
The price is right so wont you buy me
For a song, you can have me, for a song
Just for a minute stand in my place
Youll understand what I want you to say
Give me a whisper or give a shout
Clue me in, Ill work it out
Ill never break down, Im maintenance free
And I come with a life time guarantee
You just cant pass up this opportunity
Dont hesitate cause if you want me
For a song, you can have me, for a song
I belong to you (hand in hand together)
I belong to you (love in two forever)
Youre the only song I need
So let your heart sing, sing for me
If youre serious then you can sample me
Im nearly yours but you know nothing comes for free
You dont need money, you have security
Im sure youve got one somewhere, you can keep me
For a song, you can have me, for a song

Sometimes Like Butterflies
(bruce roberts / donna summer)
Well, I told you not to fall in love
I aint the kind you can tie down
You went and did it anyway
As though Id done you harm
Each time I went reachin out
Thats when you let go
Now dont try to pretend
That you didnt know
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
Oh, yeah, ooh, baby, baby, ahh, yeah
Well I told ya right from the beginning
I couldnt stay for too long - that I had to go
Now, its not because its in my heart
Baby, I dont love you
Just because Im meant to be
Im meant to be free
cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free
I got to be free
cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
No, its not because its in my heart
Oh, I dont love you
Its only that Im meant to be
Im meant to be free
cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Set me free
Oh, baby
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on baby, set me free

Dont Let Go
Another long day, another long night
I try to make it home before it gets light
Im working hard so some day we can play
When I try to explain you just push me away
Dont push me away, you say
I dont spend enough time with you
Or take an interest in things you do
We call it quits almost every other day
And the rare times were going strong
We let our pride get in the way
Seems like its always in the way
But dont let go, dont let our love go
Dont let go, just let our love grow
Sometimes we might drift away, dont let our love go
But dont let go of our love when it feels right
This kinda life can put us both to the test
But its not a question of who knows best
Our loves a ship that has its sails a little torn
All we need to do is sew em up
And we can weather the storm
Gonna ride that storm
So dont let go, dont let our love go
Dont let go, just let our love grow
Sometimes we might drift away, dont let our love go
But dont let go
No, no, dont let go, dont let our love go
Dont let go, just let our love grow
Sometimes we might drift away, dont let our love go
Dont let go of our love when it feels right
I dont see you for days
When you leave me in the dark
My imagination runs away
Just throw me a line
And Ill still hold on
Ill still hold on
Ill still hold on
And I wont let go
Dont let go, dont let our love go
Baby dont let go, just let our love grow
Oh, no, dont let our love fade away
And dont let go of our love when it feels right, oh no
Dont let our love go
Dont let go
Just let our love grow
Sometimes we might slip away
Dont let our love go
But dont let go of our love when it feels right

Where Can I Surrender
(rock kilough)
Ever want to runaway?
Ever want to leave?
Never want to hang around?
Never want to grieve?
If love turned into labor
I would just resign
Working through the hard times never crossed my mind
And Im guity of entering and breaking hearts so dear
Guilty of unlawful flight and failing to appear
Ive commited all the crimes of love - every felony
Now, I have but once defense - to plead insanity
Where can I surrender?
Im tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisioner out of me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Events have come full circle now
I spend my nights alone
Where love was once so full and free
Love had up and gone
If the good lord should see fit to bring
Sweet love my way again
Ill die before I run away
And be the fool Ive been
Where can I surrender?
Im tired of being free
I want love to come and make a prisioner out of me
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key
Lock me in your velvet cell and throw away the key

Running Water
Time hurries on
Look and its gone
The changing of the autumn tide
The hopes that live
The dreams that die
If I could have you by my side
Id give it all away
You you and i
We must hold on
We must try
To reach beyond that far off cloud
Along the road were travellin now
If I could only show you how
I need you there with me
Oh running water
Dont care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Dont throw your love away
We live to love another day
Time hurries on
Turn around and its gone
If only we could hold that dream
If only life was what it seemed
I know my darling what you mean
Ive seen it slip away
Oh running water
Dont care what people say
We live to love another day
Oh running water
Dont throw your love away
We live to love another day

Baby Love
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
Ooh baby love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long
cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Lets do some kissing and making up
Dont throw our love away
In my arms why dont you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love
Baby love, my baby love
Why must we seperate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need
Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Dont throw our love away
Please dont do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby love
I need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After Ive been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh til its hurtin me

Ooh, baby love

I'm Gonna Lock My Heart
Jimmy eaton / terry shand
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right alone the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
"please don't disturb"
And if i never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw the key
And it i never tall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I!m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'll never fall in love again
I'm gonna lock my heart

(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away
Maybe I don't wanna know the reason why
But lately you don't talk to me
Darling I can't see me in your eyes
I hold you near but you're so far away
And it's losing you I can't believe
To watch you leave and let this feeling die
You alone are the living thing that keeps me alive
And tomorrow if I'm here without your love
You know I can't survive
Only my love can raise you high above it all
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love
(break)
We can take the darkness and make if full of light
But let your love flow back to me
How can you leave and let this feeling die
This happy room will be a lonely place when you are gone
And I won't even have your shoulders for the crying on
No other women's love could be as true , I'm begging you
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love
We changed the world we made it ours to hold
But dreams are made for those who really try
This losing you is real
But I still feel you here inside
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love , our love
Don't throw it all away , our love

Sanjazz Megamix
Featuring you came, you keep me hangin on, the second time, cant get enough (of your love), never trust a stranger and stone.
All right, its time to get up and dance a bit
All right!
All right!
All right!
Because you came and changed the way I feel
No-one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No-one could take your place
Someone I know is staring at me
And when I look into her eyes
I see a girl that I used to be
I hardly recognise
Cos in the space of a year
Ive watched the old me disappear
All of the things I once held precious
Just dont mean anything anymore
Cos suddenly
You came
You
You
You
Keep me hangin on
Set me free why dont cha babe
Get out of my life why dont cha babe
cause you dont really need me
You just keep me hangin on
You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that youve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You dont want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Set me free why dont cha babe
Get out of my life why dont cha babe
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on
Oh
Never trust a stranger with your heart
With your heart
Just do it...
Dont wanna know about vacations in this cheap motel
Dont wanna know about your sea green curtains
Cos all I want n all I need is just some time with you
Dont complicate it - just do it once again
Just go for it
Just go for the second time
Just go for it
Ooh
I cant get enough of your love
Cos its true
Oh
I cant help myself from crying over you
I cant get enough of your love
Yeah Im dying cos its true
I cant get enough of your love
Im a prisoner who can never leave
Someone that you use anytime you please
But I never want you to set me free
Cos Im addicted to this love disease
And the fever rages in my soul
Begging you to want me and take control
But come tommorow youll let me go
To find another foolish heart I know
As I face another lonely night
A different lover will hold you tight
Its not right
I cant help myself from crying over you
I cant get enough of your love
Yeah Im dying cos its true
I cant get enough of your love
Never trust a stranger I knew there was a danger
But couldnt resist
The touch of a stranger
The thrill of his kiss
Cos this time
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know its not true
Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart
Most people wake
From a nightmare to find
Everythings great
It was all in their mind
So am I still sleeping
Or is this all real
If I keep on pinching myself
Will the fear disappear, oh no
Its like a stone hanging over our heads
Ready to blow
Cos this is our time
Youve got to believe
That its yours and its mine
(dont you know)
Cos this is your time
Youve got to believe
That its yours and its mine
(dont you know)

Someone Like Me
We dont need to make excuses
Together we are free
To throw away the rule book
And start with ABC
We can go to all the places
We always wanted to be
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me
If you're looking for a daddy
You won't get that from me
There are things I want to do to you
That he should never see
You will never scare me baby
You can try anything with me
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me
Don't need no little woman
A wallflower's not for me
The only way I want you girl
Is independently
Wont't lock you up in prison
And throw away the key
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me
Not looking for redemption
It's much too late for me
The two of us together girl
Can set each other free
Children need a mother
Buts it's not the same for me
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me

Weirdo
The other day I came across
Someone I knew and he was lost
I dont care what we have done
You never will believe it
Its a life thats made for me
Where I can be completely free
So long as I obey this sound
That echoes all around
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key
So, I thought this cannot be
Theres someone else in here with me
I dont care where we have been
You never will believe it
I know you and you know me
And were as happy as we can be
I know where this world belongs
It dont mean much to me
Just like the ocean or the sea
Just like the blood that burns in me
Someone like you cannot be free
Just like a lock without a key

I Dont Wanna Be Tied
(words & music by giant - baum - kaye)
I want my share of love, it might as well be known
But I aint thinking of one girl to love alone
That aint the way its gonna be, Im on my own and I am free
And Ive been satisfied, so I dont wanna be tied
Somebodys loving arms can sure be sweet Ive found
But I want no-ones arms to ever hold me down
Once I get caught inside a net Im gonna run I bet
Im gonna run and hide, I dont wanna be tied
Ive seen lovers who were matched, they thought that love could stay
Once they cared and got attached, it seems that love just slipped away
Dont want no claims on me,
Dont want no chains that bind
As anyone could see
I say whats on my mind
Well there aint nothing I conceal, Im gonna play the field
The field of love is wide ,
I dont wanna be tied
The field of love is wide,
I dont wanna be tied
The field of love is wide,
I dont wanna be tied
I said I dont, I dont wanna be, I dont wanna be tied

I Am Free
Once I was a prisoner
Lost inside myself
With the world surrounding me
Wandering through the misery
But now I am free
You gave me a breath of life
Unclouded my eyes
With a sweet serenity
Lighting a ray of hope for me
And now I am free
Free to live
Free to laugh
Free to soar
Free to shine
Free to give
Free to love
Free enough to fly
Once I was all so alone
Unsteady and cold
But your love rained down upon me
Washing away uncertainty
But now
I am free

With no place to go,
Somebody lost a romance.
All messed up,
But you never know,
This may be a good chance.
You can hold me.

Dont have to fall in love forever.
Ill be there one night at a time.
You dont have to love me
If thats not what youre after.
Oh, oh, oh and its
Alright.

Alright
To tell one more little lie.
And its alright

Aint nobody home
Dont you hang your head,
Dont get caught up in the sorrow.
All alone
Call me up instead,
Let me take you to tomorrow.
Let me hold you.
