[Verse 1]
Got your hands in your pockets
Like you’re ready to pay
Got your eyes out of socket
Like you’re a mile away
Mouth shut like a locket
Like you’ve nothing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Speak your mind up
Come on baby free yourself
[Chorus]
Ain’t no one to do it
Free yourself
Ain’t nothing to it
Free yourself
Yeah, don’t let nobody try and steal your soul
You’re the original
[Verse 2]
So you say you’re just a lost soul
I know you better than that
So you say you’re just lost in the wash
I know you better than that
So you say you’re just a face in city race
Wasted and sick of it all
Got your hands in your pockets
Like you’re ready to pay
Got your eyes out of socket
Like you’re a mile away
Mouth shut like a locket
Like you’ve nothing to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Speak your mind up
Come on baby free yourself
[Chorus]
Ain’t no one to do it
Free yourself
Ain’t nothing to it
Free yourself
Yeah, don’t let nobody try and steal your soul
You’re the original
[Verse 2]
So you say you’re just a lost soul
I know you better than that
So you say you’re just lost in the wash
I know you better than that
So you say you’re just a face in city race
Wasted and sick of it all
