Lyrics by: Teddy Powell & Bobby Sharp Peaked at #20 in1963







Don't set me free 

And leave me all alone 

Don't make me be 

Just a rolling stone 

Lock me up and throw the key away 

Make me a prisoner night and day 

And whatever you do to me 

Don't set me free 



Don't set me free 

On my knees I pray 

Have mercy on me 

Don't send me away 

Like a train jumpin off a track 

Without ya baby, I'd blow my stack 

And whatever you do to me 

Don't set me free

 

Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you 

I could love you better, than anyone else can do 



So don't set me free 

Though I've done you wrong 

Baby can't you see 

Without you I can't get along 

Keep me in a state of agony 

Make me miserable as can be 

And whatever you do to me 

Don't set me free 



Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you 

I could love you better, than anyone else can do 



So don't set me free 

Though I've done you wrong 

Baby can't you see 

Without you I can't get along 

Keep me in a state of agony 

Make me miserable as can be 

And whatever you do to me 

Don't set me free 

No, no, no, don't set me free 

I'm saying no, no don't set me free 

Baby, no, no, don't set me free
