[Chorus]
Police, wonґt you grant me my release?
I should be a freeman now at least,
Iґm no robber, Iґm no thief.
I should be a freeman on the street.
A freeman on the street.
[Verse 1]
Hey little darling you sleep tight.
Iґm a be a little late tonight.
Found myself in a situation,
Lost my temper and my patience.
Itґs the simple things that are the wind beneath my wings.
I never trouble nobody,
I never trouble no one.
[Chorus]
Police, you mista officer!
Wonґt you grant me my release?
I should be a freeman now at least,
(Why ya pressure me for, aye! )
Iґm no robber, Iґm no thief.
I should be a freeman on the street.
A freeman on the street.
[Verse 2]
Now baby I have some news,
They say my bail was refused.
But I will see you someday, somehow in someway.
Itґs the simple things that are the wind beneath my wings.
I never trouble nobody,
I never trouble no one.
Solitary soldier Iґm candid I told ya,
I landed me humbled and reprimanded.
So I man demanded my last phone call,
Without much success at all.
They say Iґm a criminal but the wicked must fall.
Freedom gone and we still stand tall.
Dem say "freeze!" and we say;
"What for? We already have respect for da law"
So...
