Lyrics
I hear you've got a full time woman now
does she love you like I never could
does she try to understand you
can she help you like I never would?
I never could
I can feel my insides shaking
dear I know your heart is breaking, now
You've got to set me free
I'd do it for you
baby now ,do it for me
You say you could love me
you say you would take good care of me if I'd come home
yes I know you mean the words you say
I wish I'd heard those words before I'd gone away
you know as well as I do, after all that we have been through
now, you've got to set me free
I'd do it for you baby now do it for me
You must know I do love you
the things youve done for me I never could forget
you gave me understanding love the kind
I never thought I'd know before we met
you help me in every way, every step of every day
and now you've got to set me free
I'd do it for you
baby now do it for me
