Review

December, 12th 2017

It is a pop version by The Bellas of one of the most prominent songs of George Michael – a huge hit of 1984-1985 years. The song had reached #1 position in many countries and entered a top-100 at the end of the year. Guess everybody knows the lines from its lyrics: ‘I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me.’ It is one of the greatest facts (and we’re sure slaves definitely long to this song). Freedom is the basic essence and need of a person to live, evolve, and create. George Michael put this idea into a very extensive pop hit that lasts through years and now even met in such low-graded films as the ones with Anna Kendrick.

Freedom! '90 Song Lyrics

[Chorus]

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would really, really love to stick around

[Verse 1]

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race, a prettier face

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way

Think I'm gonna get me some happy

[Pre-Chorus]

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I've got to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

[Chorus]

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

I will not give you up, freedom

Gotta have some faith in the sound

You got to give what you take

It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

So please don't give me up, freedom

Cause I would really, really love to stick around

[Verse 2]

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick, just a buddy and me

We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy

We were living in a fantasy

We won the race, got out of the place

Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV

But today the way I play the game has got to change oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

[Pre-Chorus]

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I stopped the show

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone I forgot to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Don’t think that I’ll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

[Chorus]

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

I will not give you up, freedom

Gotta have some faith in the sound

You got to give what you take

It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

So please don't give me up, freedom

Cause I would really, really love to stick around

[Bridge]

Well it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

And after all this time

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

[Chorus]

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me

Freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

I will not give you up, freedom

Gotta have some faith in the sound

You got to give what you take

It's the one good thing that I've got, freedom

I won't let you down, freedom

So please don't give me up, freedom

Cause I would really, really love to stick around

[Outro]

I'll hold on to my freedom

May not be what you want from me

Just the way it's got to be

Lose the face now

I've got to live
