I Am Free

I am Free
(Words and Music by Billy White, Jr.)

Verse 1
You've been away so long and now you say you're coming back home
But since you've been gone, I've been happy here on my own
‘Cause when you went away I told myself I wouldn't be sad
And if you think I'll crawl back well baby that's just too bad

Chorus 1
‘Cause I am free from your hold now
I am free from needing your love
I am free on my own now
I'm the one that I'm thinking of

Verse 2
You said you loved my once, that you'd stay forever with me
When you walked out that door I thought my heart would never be free
But upon reflection I realized our love had been wrong
And I knew the pain I had wouldn't last long

Chorus 2
And I'd be free from your hold now
I'd be free from needing your love
I am free on my own now
I'm the one that I'm thinking of

Bridge
So you thought you had me trapped by the spell of your charms
But all the love you're worth I can find in anyone's arms

Pre-Chorus
‘Cause when you went away I told myself I wouldn't be sad
If you think I'll crawl back, well sugar that's just too bad

Chorus 3
‘Cause I am free from your hold now
I am free from needing your love
I am free on my own now
I'm the one that I'm thinking of

Outro
I said I am free
I don’t belong to thee
You walked out the door
So you don’t get me no more
