Lyrics Freedom! '90 (Live) - George Michael

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
(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
(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
(Rock and roll TV)
But today the way I play the game
Has got to change, oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
(Now I'm gonna get myself 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
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, yeah
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me yea yea

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
(What a kick just a buddy and me, yeah)
We had every big shot good-time band on the run, boy
We were living in a fantasy
(Living in a fantasy)

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
Is not the same, oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
(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)
And 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, yea yea

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take

There's big fun coming up
Here we go...

Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get
That's what you get
That's what you get
That's what you get
That's what you get
For changing your mind
That's what you get for changing your mind
That's what you get (changing your mind)
That's what you get
That's what you get
That's what you get

And I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
You've got to give for what you take

Freedom (I won't let you down)
Freedom (I will not give you up)
Freedom (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
You've gotta give for what you take
