0:00We fell in love
0:01On the first night that we met
0:08Together
0:09We've been happy
0:11I have very few regrets
0:15The ordinary problems
0:18Have not been hard to face
0:22But lately little changes
0:24Have been slowly taking place
0:28You're always finding something
0:32Is wrong in what I do
0:35But you can't rearrange my life
0:39Because it pleases you
0:42You've got to love me
0:46For what I am
0:47For simply being me
0:50Don't love me
0:52For what you intend
0:54Or hope that I will be
0:57And if you're only using me
1:00To feed your fantasy
1:03You're really not in love
1:06So let me go
1:09I must be free
1:16If what you want
1:20Isn't natural for me
1:24I won't pretend to keep you
1:27What I am I have to be
1:31The picture of perfection
1:34Is only on your mind
1:37For all your expectations
1:40Love can never be designed
1:44We either take each other
1:47For everything we are
1:51Or leave the life
1:52We've made behind
1:54And make another start
1:58You've got to love me
2:01For what I am
2:05For simply being me
2:06Don't love me
2:08For what you intend
2:10Or hope that I will be
2:13And if you're only using me
2:16To feed your fantasy
2:19You're really not in love
2:22So let me go
2:25I must be free
2:29And if you're only using me
2:45To feed your fantasy
2:48You're really not in love
2:51So let me go
2:54I must be free
3:05You're really not in love
3:07So let me go
3:11I must be free
