Turn Me Loose Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born to run
I was born to dream
The craziest boy you ever seen
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all

[Verse 2]
And I was here to please
I'm even on knees
Making love to whoever I please

I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all

[Verse 3]
And then you came around
Tried to tie me down
I was such a clown
You had to have it your way
Or no way at all

[Bridge]
Well I've had all I can take
I can't take it no more
I'm gonna pack my bags and fly my way
Or no way at all
[Chorus]
So, why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
Why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly

[Verse 4]
I'm here to please
I'm even on my knees
Making love to whoever I please
I gotta do it my way
I gotta do it my way

[Bridge]
And when you came around
You tried to tie me down
I was such a clown
You had to have it your way
Well I'm sayin' no way
[Chorus]
So, why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
Why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly
Ooh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So, why don`t you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
Or no way at all
Why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I gotta do it my way
[Chorus]
Why don't you turn me loose?
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
I gotta do it my way
I wanna fly

[Outro]
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose
Turn me loose

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
