The king of the jungle is a lion but you kill his freedom once he's in a cage

A man needs a woman he can lean on not one to turn his life page by page

If you don't believe a lemon's bitter try one

If it doesn't soothe your taste throw it away

If you only want a puppet then go by one if that's how it is then I can't stay

Cause every man wants to be a free man not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy

So if you're afraid of losin' me you'll lose me

But not to love but to fear the fear that I might be the man I really want to be

[ guitar ]

I know you don't understand my every move and at times I wish you wouldn't even try

All you need to know is that I love you and I will until the day I die

But every man wants to be a free man...

The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
