Oh, baby life could be something wonderful

Wonderful



You keep me satisfied

I need you by my side

But you wanna leave today

Don't throw it all away



The tender love we knew

The tender love so true

The happiness we shared

Just knowin' someone cared



You're gonna need me

Like you needed me before

Need me, baby

Come back and close the door

Can't cool all my emotion

Can't cool all my devotion

Life could be something wonderful



I'll set you free

Something wonderful

I'll set you free

In your sweet caress

It's better than livin' a life of loneliness



Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give

Each day made me proud to live

You took the best of me

If you don't want the rest of me



I'll set you free

Fine fine

I'll set you free

Fine fine

I don't want nobody who don't want me, ooh



You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'

You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'

You're gonna need me I know it

You're gonna want me



But I'll set you free, I'll set you free

Ooh, I'll set you free, I'll set you free

You don't care about me

Ooh, life could be something wonderful



Something wonderful

Here's a sweet caress

It's better than livin' a life of loneliness

You're gonna be lonely boy



Ooh I'm givin' you all I had to give

Each day made me proud to live

You took the best of me

If you don't want the rest of me



I'll set you free

I'll set you free

I'll set you free

Don't want nobody who don't want me

Yeah, you're gonna be lonely



You're gonna miss the love I've been givin'

You're gonna miss the life you've been livin'

You're gonna want me, baby I know it

You're gonna want me, but I'll set you free



I could be, oh baby, I could be

Oh baby, I could be

Anything I wanna be

As long as I know you're here with me
