  • Whispering in his ear
    My magic potion for love
    Telling him I'm sincere
    And that there's nothing too good for us

    And I just got to be me, free, free

    Whispering in his ear
    My magic potion for love
    Telling him I'm sincere
    And that there's nothing too good for us

    But I want to be free, free, free
    And I just got to be me, yeah, me, me

    Teasing hands on his mind
    Give our night such mystery
    Happiness all the time
    Oh and how that night pleases me

    But I want to be free, free, free
    And I just got to be me, yeah, me, me

    I just got to be me, me, me

    Feeling you close to me
    Makes all my senses smile
    Let's not waste ecstasy
    'Cause I'll only be here for a while

    I've got to be free, free, free, oh
    And I just got to be me, yeah, yeah, me, me, oh

    Free, free, free, oh, baby
    (I just got to be me) and I just wanna, I just wanna be me

    Free, free
    (I just got to be me) I just got to be me, me
    Whoa, free
    (I just got to be me)
    That's all I want to be

  • Rwhitney from Los AngelesUpon further research, Charles Stepney (who did the horn arrangement) may have played vibes on this song. Not sure.
  • Rwhitney from Los AngelesThe musicians listed are for the album, not the song. In terms of winds, it sounds like there's just two trumpets. The vibraphone was apparently played by Gary Coleman (not listed).
  • Pedro from Los AngelesI really enjoy this website.
