Charles Ray – Don't Set Me Free lyrics

Album: Ray Charles: Ultimate Hits Collection

Lyrics by: Teddy Powell & Bobby Sharp Peaked at #20 in1963

Don't set me free
And leave me all alone
Don't make me be
Just a rolling stone
Lock me up and throw the key away
Make me a prisoner night and day
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free

Don't set me free
On my knees I pray
Have mercy on me
Don't send me away
Like a train jumpin off a track
Without ya baby, I'd blow my stack
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free

Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you
I could love you better, than anyone else can do

So don't set me free
Though I've done you wrong
Baby can't you see
Without you I can't get along
Keep me in a state of agony
Make me miserable as can be
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free

Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you
I could love you better, than anyone else can do

So don't set me free
Though I've done you wrong
Baby can't you see
Without you I can't get along
Keep me in a state of agony
Make me miserable as can be
And whatever you do to me
Don't set me free
No, no, no, don't set me free
I'm saying no, no don't set me free
Baby, no, no, don't set me free
