Why won't you let me be
Well you told me that you wanted me
To be the one
But all you ever wanted
Was to have some fun
You cheated and you lied
I hope you're satisfied
Oh why won't you let me be
Well I try to walk away
But every time I do
You tell me that you're sorry
And that you'll be true
I take you back and then
You lie to me again
Oh why won't you let me be
(Why don't you set me free)
Oh baby, baby, why
(Why don't you let me be)
Baby, baby, why
(Now all want to know)
Why won't you let me go
I guess that I will always be
In love with you
And yet I know that you're the kind
That can't be true
So let me go my way
Don't try and make me stay
Oh please, won't you let me be
Why don't you let me be
(Why don't you set me free)
Oh baby, baby, why
(Why don't you let me be)
Baby, baby, why
(Now all want to know)
Why won't you let me go
(Ad lib)
Why won't you let me be
