Don't Set Me Free — Ray Charles

Lyrics by: Teddy Powell & Bobby Sharp Peaked at #20 in1963

Don't set me free And leave me all alone Don't make me be Just a rolling stone Lock me up and throw the key away Make me a prisoner night and day And whatever you do to me Don't set me free

Don't set me free On my knees I pray Have mercy on me Don't send me away Like a train jumpin off a track Without ya baby, I'd blow my stack And whatever you do to me Don't set me free

Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you I could love you better, than anyone else can do

So don't set me free Though I've done you wrong Baby can't you see Without you I can't get along Keep me in a state of agony Make me miserable as can be And whatever you do to me Don't set me free

Like a stamp on a letter, if you let me stick with you I could love you better, than anyone else can do

So don't set me free Though I've done you wrong Baby can't you see Without you I can't get along Keep me in a state of agony Make me miserable as can be And whatever you do to me Don't set me free No, no, no, don't set me free I'm saying no, no don't set me free Baby, no, no, don't set me free
