I won't put no chain around you
You know you'll always be free
I got it clear in my mind that you don't belong to me
I've tried and I've tried to play your way
But every time you come back to me
I wonder how long you gonna stay
Oh, believe me when I tell you
I don't want to tie you down
Because I learned the hard way when you were messin' me around
solo
Baby, please, I won't bother anymore
I'm trying my best to forget
And be like I was before
I won't put no chain around you
You know you'll always be free
I got it clear in my mind that you don't belong to me
You know you'll always be free
I got it clear in my mind that you don't belong to me
I've tried and I've tried to play your way
But every time you come back to me
I wonder how long you gonna stay
Oh, believe me when I tell you
I don't want to tie you down
Because I learned the hard way when you were messin' me around
solo
Baby, please, I won't bother anymore
I'm trying my best to forget
And be like I was before
I won't put no chain around you
You know you'll always be free
I got it clear in my mind that you don't belong to me
