I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows
God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
This time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love
God knows
God knows I've fallen in love
Well it's strange but it's true (Oo-shala lala)
I can't get over the way you love me like you do (Oo-shala lala)
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door (Ah-ah)
All I want to be free
All I want to be free
All I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without
Living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone
God knows
Got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
Uh I've got to break free
Well it's strange but it's true (Oo-shala lala)
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
(Oo-shala lala)
But I have to be sure when I
Walk out that door (Ah-ah)
All I want to be free
All I want to be free
All I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows
God knows I want to break free
God knows
God knows I want to break free
God knows
God knows I want to break free
Mamaaa just killed a man (killed a ma-an)
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mamaaa life had just begun (just begu-un)
Now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama oo-ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on carry on
As if nothing really matters
Too late my time has come (time has come)
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go (got to go)
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama oo-ooh
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
Carry on carry on
As if nothing really matters
Gotta take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gotta take a lot to drag me away from you
(Take away from you)
There's nothing that a hundred men
Or more could ever do (more could ever do)
I bless the rains down in Africa (A-Africa)
I bless the rains down in Africa (A-Africa)
