The world is a hungry place 
And it's never satisfied 
Leaving home, on your own, 
Your momma she was right 

Home was a crowded space, 
But it sometimes gratified 
Look around, freedom found, now you've gone 

You don't belong to me, 
I've just got to let you go 
You don't belong to me, 
I've just got to let you know 

Your life is a precious thing, 
It can never be denied 
You need a job 
You couldn't help but try 

Home was a crowded place 
And it sometimes satisfied 
Turn around freedom found 
Now you've gone 
Baby turn back 
Don't ride the highway 
Oh baby good luck 

When you do it your way 
You don't belong to me 
I've just got to let you go 
You don't belong to me 
I've just got to let you know 
I don't belong to you 
It's only an emotion away 
You don't belong to me 
I've just got to let you go 
When there's nothing in your way 
And hunger burns inside 
Reaching out on your way 
Lust is a hungry place, 
And it's never satisfied 

You need to find, 
The gift of love [bad word] from deep inside 
Your heart is a special place, 
And I'm always there, 
I'm always there for you 
Baby turn back, 
Don't ride the highway 
Oh baby good luck 
When you live it your way
