I’m So Free Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, I am mother nature's son (Ooh-ooh)
And I'm the only one

I do what I want and I want what I see (Ooh-ooh)
Huh, could only happen to me

[Chorus]
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Oh, please, Saint Germaine (Ooh-ooh)
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in? (Ooh-ooh)
I had horns and fins

[Chorus]
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3]
Do you remember the silver walks?
You used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to Times Square
And ever since, I've been hanging 'round there

[Chorus]
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 1]
Yes, I am mother nature's son (Ooh-ooh)
And I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see (Ooh-ooh)
Could only happen to me

[Chorus]
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm so free (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
In the morning, I'm so free
Late in the evening, I'm so free
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free
When I feel good, I'm so free
When it's in the morning, I'm so free
When it's in the evening, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
Feel so good, now, I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
Feel so good, now, I'm so free
Feeling real nice, I'm so free
Really mellow down, now, I'm so free

Oh, so good, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
