George Michael – Freedom ’90
George Michael – Freedom ’90 (MTV Unplugged 1996) Lyrics: 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 myself happy 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 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 You’ve gotta give for what you take Freedom You’ve gotta give for what you take Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy What a kick just a buddy and me We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy We were living in a fantasy We won the race Got out of the place I 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 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 …

hes such a good looking man, always has been
George’s past, a new man. Freedom!
George’s past, a new man. Freedoom!
@p1hclan Yeah you’re right. Partially. I know what he said, it was about cutting all tie to Sony and Wham! and whatnot… But in all fairness it was about him coming out of the closet. Anyone can see that.
The back-up singers are killin’ it.
Amazing! I adore his voice, and his energy!
I agree!
The bass player is in pure hypnosi! Delicius!
he has the GREATEST voice in the WORLD !!
Fucking amazing voice, never heard someone else like his except Michael Jackson! Maybe I even consider he got a better voice than MJ!
@p1hclan
Hi! Some interesting pieces of information you have. Do you also know, why he doesn´t sing the first verse (“I won´t let you down…”) in any live perfomance anymore? Didn´t find one single video. In the live performances he always starts with “Heaven knows I was just a young boy…”. Perhaps you know the answer. I´d be glad to hear from you. Greetings from Germany
When willSONY learn to handle their male artistis, George Michael, Michael Jackson….?
absolutely marvelous
@StowAlex Amen to that brother.
Is to eat Him!!!!!!! ♥♥
Está para comérselo!!!!♥♥
~ This dude can SING ! ~
I was never really into pop, but I like almost all of his music.
This is a GREAT VERSION of this sing !
the backup singers r thr best…….uncle D
@SuperSoulSeeker The song is about his desire to be free from Sony, because they gave him image he didn’t like (Faith) and he tried to distance from it. That’s why his jacket and guitar from Faith video burns/explodes. And that is why he asked supermodels to lip sync in the video
I didn’t know back then this was George’s coming out song. These lyrics. I love them and he was just so talented. I guess he still is. Love George Michael.
excellent.
Love the background singer’s grin when they sing “the boys at MTV”. LOL
The best
Freedom, you gotta give for what you take. Speak volumes for those who have ears.
