Leela James - Set Me Free Lyrics






Uh, uh, uh
Oh, oh, hmm
Listen! Last night you didn't call,
Had me worried all night long
Why you keep doing me wrong?
I don't know, babe!
And it hurts so bad
I'm tired of being sad,
This house is not a home
The love is gone, baby!

I just can't see it,
I can't see, baby!
...staying in this with you
You, you, you!

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

If you love me, if you care
Be man enough to let me go instead of staying here
Pretending like we love each other
When we both know there's something better waiting for me
You just can't see it,
I can see, baby
Wasting any more time,
We're just waiting time
Staying in this
And I just can't stay,
I just can't stay with me!

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

What happened to the love we have?
It went away somehow
It used to be so good, but it's so bad now
And I tried to make it work,
I tried to fit the play
I give it all I got, can't you understand?

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

Set me free, set me free
Let me go cause it's bad for me
We're holding on, we're holding on
Uh, if you love me, let me free!

    Perfect breakup song.riding den the highway mad asf.

  49. A.... H....

    The lyrics helped me let go of a friendship that was going no where cause my friend really did not understand how to be a friend to me, without first learning how to be a good friend you can't learn how to be good partnersI may be young but I, not to young to know how love works some of us mulipilate andl lie taking away the other person's right to make the choice to stay or go staying in a physically or emotionally partnership is not healthy.

  50. w.... c....

  75. C.... D....

    I feel like this right now 😔 if love me set me free 😔😔😔

  76. C.... F....

    I'm not there at this point in my life. But I have been there, at a place where I would have been singing this song. I can relate, been there done that. I am free on all levels mentally and spiritually. I just happen to like this song, her voice with it and the music. The words with this song can carry a person through when you listen but when the music stops, it's you and God together dealing with the situation. So with God foremost, carrying you through it all, he is the one that is responsible to bring healing to your heart. He does use wholesome ways. God has no respect of persons for it. If he did it for me, he can do it for you and think about it, if he did it before he can do it again. 😉 I pray you all are set free in every area where you need to be set free.

    To make it work, it takes two, one person can't make it work alone, I had to learn the hard way, set him free and love myself, nothing hurts more then to give him all of you and you get disrespect inreturn.
