I'll Never Be Free (5/9/50) - Dinah Washington

Each time I hold someone new

My arms grow cold aching for 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 puts 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 when we’re apart

Each kiss I gave to you

Made me a slave to you

I’ll never be free
