Billy Joe Royal – Royal Free Me lyrics

But how'd we ever come to this
How'd we let it get so estranged
Baby, I can remember a time not so long ago
When I was all you longed to hold
Ain't it funny how things change

But I'll be here where you left me
Standing in the pourin' rain
Just a prisoner of my pain
And beggin' you to free me
Oh, I'll be waiting here, sweet darlin'
Like the day you left me behind
And if you ever change your mind
Come on and free me

Run to him, run to him oh, there's someone new
Cause I only want the best for you
And you know I always will
So I'll be here where ya left me
Standing in the pourin' rain
Just a prisoner of my pain
And beggin' you to free me
Yeah, I'll be waiting here, sweet darlin'
Like the day you left me behind
And if you ever change your mind
Come on and free me

I'll be waitin' here
Right here where ya left me
Now I'm just a prisoner
Oh, I'm beggin' you to free me
Oh, I'll be waiting here, sweet darlin'
Like the day you left me behind (left me behind)
And if you ever change your mind
Ya can come on and free me
So if you ever change your mind
Baby, come on and free me
(If you ever change your mind) oh, oh
Come on and free me (free me)
(If you ever change your mind, come on)
Come on and free me, little girl (free me
