You thought you had me

All tied up in a little knot

You thought I'd go on living just like you

'Til you asked me nicely to stop



But surprise



I'm free

I'm free

I'm free

To be the girl you tried to steal



You thought I'd freeze out

And wither away in abandon

Now you know differently and I've gone on living

Much more than you'd ever imagined



So surprise



I'm free

I'm free

I'm free

To be the girl you tried to steal

To be the girl you tried to steal from me



It isn't every day

Someone sets you free

And gives you walking papers

To be the real thing
