I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would reallyreally love to stick aroundstick around



Heaven knows I was such a young boy

I didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race? a prettier face!

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll tv

But today the way I play the game has got to change

Oh yeah

And now I'm gonna get me so happy



I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I've got to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Somehow the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yeah yeah



(freedom) I won't let you down

(freedom) I will not give you up

(freedom) you've gotta have some faith in the sound

(you've gotta give for what you take)

It's the one good thing that I've got

(freedom) I won't let you down

(freedom) so please don't give me up

(freedom) because I would really really love to stick aroundstick around

(you've gotta give for what you take)

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy

What a kick just my buddies and me

(what a kick just my buddies and me)

We won the race

Got out of the place

I went back home got a brand new face

For the boys on mtv (boys on mtv)

But today the way I play the game has got to change

Oh yeah

And now I'm gonna get myself happy



I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I stopped the show

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone I forgot to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Don't think that I'll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yeah yeah



(freedom) I won't let you down

(freedom) I will not give you up

(freedom) you've gotta have some faith in the sound

(you've gotta give for what you take) it's the one good thing that I've got

(freedom) I won't let you down

(freedom) so please don't give me up

(freedom) because I would really really love to stick aroundstick around

(you've gotta give for what you take)



Well it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

And when you shake your ass

They notice fast

Some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

That's what you get

I just hope you understand sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to see now

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yeah yeah

(repeat chorus)
