Everybody's trying to tell me something

All about the way to live my life

I don't want to be nobody's prisoner

Jaded sittin' on a couch until I die

Trying desperately to be somebody

An independent personality

They're not exactly rolling the red carpet

I've learned I have to fight to be free



Chorus:

I just want to be

Free to be a woman

Free to do what I choose

Free to feel the way I want

And change my attitude

Free to be a woman

Free to have a plan

Free to find the best in life

and be all that I can



And the bass goes:



I don't want no artificial sweetness

Not looking for a man to feed me lines

If you want to check out my body

First, just show an interest in my mind



(Chorus:)



You better listen to the bass

Play those funky keys

We're going to get a little funky

Oh, funky

Oh, Freedom

Oh, funky



Living's about giving

Never sacrifice

When it comes to your freedom

Live free or die



Chorus:

I just want to be

Free to be a woman

Free to do what I choose

Free to feel the way I want

and change my attitude

Free to be a woman

Love for who I am

Free to find the best in life

and be all that I can



And all the time, love my man

Oh, Freedom

Gotta have it now

Oh, Funky

Oh, just a little lovin' now
