Standing on the corner
Bleaker 8th or 9th
Money in my pocket
And women on my mind

I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain't nobody's daddy now

Here I say the women
Are the very finest kind
Clacking on their high heels
Like an engine down the line

I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
I ain't nobody's daddy now

I usually have a woman
Who worry me to death
Hammers in my pocket
And a fools was on my neck

And I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain't nobody's daddy now

Got a baby on the east side
Honey on the west
Got a woman uptown
But my downtown gal's the best

I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain't nobody's daddy now

(Watch this baby)

I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain't nobody's daddy now
(She's gone)

And I'm free
Can't nobody tie me down
Nothing ever worries me
Ain't nobody's daddy now
