I need my freedom

And that's a fact

She said : "Give it up now,

Or don't [bad word] back

Do ya, do ya, do ya understand ?"

She was the only woman

Who hurt me, made me feel bad

Makin' her happy was all that I had

And all I ever, I ever

I ever really wanted

My soul survivor

Without you, what do I have left

My soul survivor

Cannot make it by myself

My soul survivor

Do you hear my cry

My soul survivor

I will love you till the day I die

She would tell me I'm a fool

That I don't give a [bad word] 

And though half of that was [bad word] 

She just didn't understand

What I, what I, what I really needed

Well she left me with some heavy loads

Stood me on some crossroads

May be I'm a better man

I gotta know who I am

Do ya, do ya, do ya understand ?
