Set Me Free Lyrics
There ain't no reason why you let me wait
Just give me up and i will go
Let's set it straight
Got a right to who i am
And if i don't fit your plan then set me free
But you refuse to set me free
And you deny me of my needs
You have me under lock and key
Just set me free just set me free
You never cared for what i had to say
It's just because you got to have it all your way
Well i ain't no superman
If that's what you demand then set me free
Couldn't you please just set me free
You get your fun just hurting me
If this is how it's going to be
Just set me free just set me free
Now i deserve to be as mad as hell because
I just don't get it
I place myself in your hands to fall
But i'm not quitting (no)
Feels like the time we spent was going to waste
Sooner or later it's goodbye we're gonna say
'cause you just don't give a damn
So go find some other man and set me free
Just don't refuse to set me free
You can't deny me of my needs
Just turn your head to hear my plea
Just set me free just set me free
Couldn't you please just set me free
You get your fun just hurting me
If this is how it's going to be
Just set me free just set me free
Just give me up and i will go
Let's set it straight
Got a right to who i am
And if i don't fit your plan then set me free
And you deny me of my needs
You have me under lock and key
Just set me free just set me free
It's just because you got to have it all your way
Well i ain't no superman
Couldn't you please just set me free
You get your fun just hurting me
If this is how it's going to be
Just set me free just set me free
I just don't get it
I place myself in your hands to fall
But i'm not quitting (no)
Feels like the time we spent was going to waste
Sooner or later it's goodbye we're gonna say
'cause you just don't give a damn
So go find some other man and set me free
You can't deny me of my needs
Just turn your head to hear my plea
Just set me free just set me free
You get your fun just hurting me
If this is how it's going to be
Just set me free just set me free

The song is usually considered as a break up song as a ultimatum from the person tried of waiting on their other half to get their act together or just let the relationship end and just move on just be "set free".
The real meaning of the song was really from the lead singer and bassist Kasim Sulton situation with the group being under contract with Bearsville Records which band leader Todd Rundgren also was under. He wanted to negotiate under new terms with the record company or just be let go. He briefly left the group but returned when Utopia signed with a new record company Network Records in 1982.
