Police, won't you grant me my release? I should be a freeman now at least, I'm no robber I'm no thief. I should be a freeman on the street. A freeman on the street. Hey little darlin you sleep tight. I'm a be a little late tonight. Found myself in a situation, Lost my temper and my patience. It's the simple things that are the wind beneath my wings. I never trouble nobody, I never trouble no one. Police, you mista officer! Won't you grant me my release? I should be a freeman now at least, Whi ya pressure mi for aye? I'm no robber I'm no thief. I should be a freeman on the street. A freeman on the street. Now baby I have some news, They say my bail was refused. But I will see you someday, somehow in someway. It's the simple things that are the wind beneath my wings. I never trouble nobody, I never trouble no one. Police, you mista officer! Won't you grant me my release? I should be a freeman now at least, Whi ya pressure mi for aye? I'm no robber I'm no thief. A freeman on the street. Solitary soldier I'm candid I told ya, It landed me humbled and reprimanded, I man demanded my last phone call, Without much success at all. They say I'm a criminal but the wicked must fall. Freedom gone and we still stand tall. Dem say "freeze!" and we say; "What for? We already have respect for da law" So... Police, you mista officer! Won't you grant me my release? I should be a freeman now at least, Whi ya pressure mi for aye? I'm no robber I'm no thief. I should be a freeman on the street. A freeman on the street.
