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...
