Well, I hear you've got a full time woman now
Does she love you like I never could?
Yes, and does she try to understand you, babe?
Does she help you like I never would?

And I can feel my insides shaking, dear
I know your heart is aching now
You've got to set me free
'Cause I'd do it for you
Come on now, do it for me

You say you would love me
You say you'd take good care of me if I'd come home
And yes, I guess you know you mean the words you say
I'd like to have heard them once before I'd gone

But you know just as well as I do
After all that we have been through now
You've got to set me free
'Cause I'd do it for you
Come on now, do it for me

You must know I do love you
The things you've done for me I never could forget
You gave me love and understanding, babe
The kind I never knew before we met

And you helped me in so many ways, every step of every way
But now, you've got to set me free
I'd do it for you
Come on now
I'd do it for you
Come on now
I'd do it for you
Come on now, babe, for you.
