Lyrics
Now I don't mind if every time that you're around your feeling down. I'll make you feel good.
But please don't say you think it's time to go away, please stay and make me feel good.
'Cause there've been times when I was lost and lonely and you weren't the only one around.
But please don't go. I want you though it doesn't show. I need to have you here with me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
Now you have dreams. You're so far away sometimes it seems to me you just couldn't care.
And yesterday I heard the words you had to say, okay, but I just couldn't care.
'Cause there've been times when you and I were one the same. I'd like to try it all again.
So please don't leave. I need to have you here with me. I cannot make it on my own.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
If only I could try and make myself see everything you are today.
Then maybe I would not be quite myself and I would love you every day.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
I only want you when you wanna be free. Don't make it easy on me.
