Set Me Free
Unlocking Love's Chains: Sonny & Cher's Plea for Liberation
Lyrics
Set me free, little girl
Request to be set free by the little girl.
All you gotta do is
Expressing that setting free is all that is required.
Set me free little girl
Reiteration of the desire to be set free by the little girl.
You know you can do it
Assurance that the little girl has the capability to set the speaker free.
If you try
Encouragement for the little girl to try setting the speaker free.
All you gotta do
Emphasizing the simplicity of setting the speaker free.
Is set me free, free
Repetition of the plea to be set free.
Free, free
Continued repetition, possibly emphasizing the intensity of the desire to be free.
Set me free, little girl
Repeated request for freedom from the little girl.
Why don't you let me be, little girl
Questioning why the little girl doesn't allow the speaker to be free.
You know you can do it
Reiteration of the little girl's ability to set the speaker free.
If you try
Encouragement for the little girl to attempt setting the speaker free.
All you gotta do
Restating the simplicity of setting the speaker free.
Is set me free, free
Repetition emphasizing the desire for freedom.
Free, free
Continued emphasis on the desire for freedom.
I don't want no one
Expressing a preference for solitude if unable to have the little girl.
If I can't have you to myself
Desire to have the little girl exclusively for oneself.
I don't need no body else
Declaring independence from the need for anyone else.
So if I can't have you to myself
Reiteration of the desire to have the little girl exclusively.
Set me free, set me free
Plea to be set free, emphasizing the urgency with repetition.
Set me free, little girl
Repeated request for freedom from the little girl.
