I Want You Free lyrics

If my words should ever strike you like the rattlin' of chains
And my voice should ever make you long for trains and boats and planes
May I live a million years and never feel your touch again
I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
[ ac.guitar ]
If you ever get to feeling that you've stayed away too long
And something I have said makes you dread just coming home
May I live a lonely life without a love to call my own
I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
I want you free I want you free unwilling love ain't good enough for me
Though heaven knows I love your lovin' me I want you free I want you free
[ ac.guitar ]
If you ever cease you love me never think that I won't know
If you ever come to me just cause there's no place else to go
May the next one that you love destroy your spirit and your soul
I want you free I want you only if and when you want me
I want you free...
