Oh, baby life could be something wonderful
Wonderful
You keep me satisfied
I need you by my side
But you wanna leave today
Don`t throw it all away
The tender love we knew
The tender love so true
The happiness we shared
Just knowin` someone cared
You`re gonna need me
Like you needed me before
Need me, baby
Come back and close the door
Can`t cool all my emotion
Can`t cool all my devotion
Life could be something wonderful
I`ll set you free
Something wonderful
I`ll set you free
In your sweet caress
It`s better than livin` a life of loneliness
Ooh I`m givin` you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don`t want the rest of me
I`ll set you free
Fine fine
I`ll set you free
Fine fine
I don`t want nobody who don`t want me, ooh
You`re gonna miss the love I`ve been givin`
You`re gonna miss the life you`ve been livin`
You`re gonna need me I know it
You`re gonna want me
But I`ll set you free, I`ll set you free
Ooh, I`ll set you free, I`ll set you free
You don`t care about me
Ooh, life could be something wonderful
Something wonderful
Here`s a sweet caress
It`s better than livin` a life of loneliness
You`re gonna be lonely boy
Ooh I`m givin` you all I had to give
Each day made me proud to live
You took the best of me
If you don`t want the rest of me
I`ll set you free
I`ll set you free
I`ll set you free
Don`t want nobody who don`t want me
Yeah, you`re gonna be lonely
You`re gonna miss the love I`ve been givin`
You`re gonna miss the life you`ve been livin`
You`re gonna want me, baby I know it
You`re gonna want me, but I`ll set you free
I could be, oh baby, I could be
Oh baby, I could be
Anything I wanna be
As long as I know you`re here with me
