Set You Free
Joseph Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move it, move it
I just love the way you do it
Baby, when you walk in the club
See these eyes, they staring back
Giving me a heart attack
Girl, I know you’re looking for love
Find what you’re looking for
Cause your heart, your heart
Is always needing more
Oh, cause your heart is looking for love
You’re looking in the wrong place
You’d be better off looking my way
Through the day
Into tonight
Cause love is all you need, yeah
And you can find it from me
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no,
I’m here to set you free
I’m here to set you
Set you free
I see you talking to another guy
And it doesn’t feel alright
Cause baby he can’t do it from you
So take a step right over here
And I’ll make it very clear
You only gotta follow my rules
I said you gotta, you gotta be down
To always be messing around
Keep tearing up this dance floor, you’ll see
We dancing and dancing
We keep on moving and moving
And by tonight, oh baby leaving with me
And I know, I know
What I have to do
Cause my heart, my heart
Has been longing to find you
Oh, cause your heart is looking for love
You’re looking in the wrong place
You’d be better off looking my way
Through the day
Into tonight
Cause love is all you need, yeah
And you can find it from me
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no,
I’m here to set you free
Free from all the lies
Free from all the pain
Free to tell you why, oh why
Oh, never gonna let you
Never gonna let you
Never gonna let you down
Cause your heart is looking for love
You’re looking in the wrong place
You’d be better off looking my way
Through the day
Into tonight
Cause love is all you need, yeah
And you can find it from me
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no,
I’m here to set you free
The lyrics of Joseph Vincent’s “Set You Free” describe a man who is captivated by the beauty of a woman he sees at a club. He is aware that she is looking for love, but he believes that she is looking in the wrong place. He invites her to come dance with him and promises to set her free from all the lies and pain that she may have experienced in her search for love. He assures her that he can offer her the love that she needs and wants, and he is willing to wait for her to realize that he is the one for her.
The first verse of the song describes the singer’s attraction to the woman he sees and his awareness that she is searching for love. He believes that she is looking in the wrong place, and he invites her to come dance with him, where he promises to set her free from her pain and give her the love that she needs. The second verse describes how he witnesses her talking to another guy and realizes that she’s not happy and that he can give her what she’s looking for. The chorus repeats the idea that she’s looking in the wrong place for love, but he can give her what she needs.
Throughout the song, we see a man who is confident in his ability to give the woman he desires what she has been looking for. He knows that love is all she needs, and he’s willing to offer it to her. The song’s lyrics express the idea that sometimes we might look for love in the wrong places, but we need to keep looking until we find someone who can set us free.
