The king of the jungle is a lion but you kill his freedom once he's in a cage
A man needs a woman he can lean on not one to turn his life page by page
If you don't believe a lemon's bitter try one
If it doesn't soothe your taste throw it away
If you only want a puppet then go by one if that's how it is then I can't stay
Cause every man wants to be a free man not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy
So if you're afraid of losin' me you'll lose me
But not to love but to fear the fear that I might be the man I really want to be
[ guitar ]
I know you don't understand my every move and at times I wish you wouldn't even try
All you need to know is that I love you and I will until the day I die
But every man wants to be a free man
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
