I’ll Never Be Free - Louis Jordan

Each time I hold somebody new

My arms go cold thinking of you

No one can take your place, darling, in my embrace

I’ll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire

No other kiss can put out the fire

Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy

This longing in me

I’ll never be free from your smile so tender

The sweet surrender in your eyes

How can I be free when I still remember?

How you could thrill me with a sigh

Just like a chain bound to my heart

Your love remains while we’re apart

Each kiss I gave to you

Made me a slave to you

I’ll never be free

That kiss I gave to you

Made me a slave to you

I’ll never be free
