The world is a hungry place and it's never satisfied   You're leaving home, on the run, your mama, she was right   Home was a crowded space but it sometimes gratified   Look around, freedom found, now you've gone      you don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go   You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know      Your life is a precious thing, you can never be denied   You need a job, a place to live, you couldn't help but try   Home was a crowded place and it sometimes satisfied   Turn around, freedom found, now you've gone      Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway   Baby, good luck when you do it your way      You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go   You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know   I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away   You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go      When there's nothing in your way and hunger burns inside   Reaching out on your own way, reaching out, you're reaching out on your own      Lust is a hungry place and it's never satisfied   You need to find the gift of love that comes from deep inside   Your heart is a special place and you're always there, I'm always there for you      You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go   You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you know   I don't belong to you, it's only an ocean away   You don't belong to me, I've just gotta let you go      Baby, turn back, don't ride the highway   Baby, good luck when you do it your way
