Sit back and relax awhile I have you where I want you to be. Don't you move a muscle. It's about that time that you're listening to me. I don't want to hear "I'm sorry, baby." I don't want to hear "I'm sorry, baby." Yeah
You're hidden in the shadows. Darkness won't reveal identity. And if you really knew me you'd know that I don't want you to look like me. And it really drives me crazy, baby. It's too late to say I'm sorry, baby, yeah.
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to see you wrapped up in any lie. I guess it's just we're not seeing eye to eye to eye to eye. You know what you're doing, don't you? I think you do now. And you know it might be hard for you but you've got to RELEASE ME.
(Chorus) You've got to RELEASE ME.
You stole the soul from my footsteps. Now I have to wave to be revealed. And some can see though blinders a true smile is something that can't be concealed. And it's too late to say "I'm sorry, baby." I don't want to hear "I'm sorry, baby."
You know it's strange and I shouldn't let it bother me. I guess I should, I should take it as a form of flattery, but you’ve got to RELEASE ME (Chorus)
I just want for you to see the way I see. Not through sights, but by beliefs instilled in me. Then you can finally stand up n your own damn feet and until then I'll be praying for you to RELEASE ME (Chorus)
I don't care how you do it but you've got to release, got to RELEASE ME.
