Set Me Free
Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it in my wildest dreams
It's a fever it's an endless deep
It's a scary night from the other side
It's my heart's desire got to set me
Got to set me got to set me
Got to set to set, set, set, set, set

You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
You know you got to set me free

Free your body free your body
Free your body free your body

I can feel it in my shaking bones
It's a secret everybody knows it
It's the cold night it's the morning light
It's my heart's desire got to set me
Got to set me got to set me
Got to set to set, set, set, set, set

You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
You know you got to set me free
(Got to set me, got to set me)
(You know you've got to) You know
You got to set me free
You know you got to set me free
You know you got to set me free
You know you got to set me free

You know you have to set me free
You know you got to set me free




You know you got to set me free
(You know you've got to)

Robyn is not capable of making a bad song ♥ Love this!

@johnnyatab

Stunning. I'm glad the saxophone is making a comeback in dance music. Reminds me of the best parts of the 90's. It really captures the essence. If only people would put down their phones for a minute, let their minds go and dance with abandon like their lives depended on it.

@Not_Abby_Its_Abbey

My Queen Mitch Grassi has blessed me with great music once more.

@BryanRodriguezbrarodhe

Everytime Robyn releases something, my body starts moving. So in love with her voice and her music.

@kellztheaquariuz

Still listening to this in 2023 🙌🏾

@infinitelycb_514

This reminds me of the 1980s synth-pop and dance music that was on the radio, love it!

@kiwimull
