Otis Redding

Otis Ray Redding, Jr. (September 9, 1941 – December 10, 1967) was an American singer and songwriter, record producer, arranger, and talent scout. Considered one of the major figures in soul music and rhythm and blues, and one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, his singing style influenced other soul artists of the 1960s, and he helped to craft the short-living and powerful style of R&B that formed the basis of the Stax Sound.

Turn me loose
There ain't no use
Free me darling
Don't hang me up
Let me go from your love, now

Just like a prisoner
You got me chained and bound
Unlock 'em, let me go, let me go
Get 'em from around

Turn me loose
There ain't no use
Free me baby, let me go, turn me loose
From your love, now

You know I did love you, yeah
Do anything in the world for you
I try my best, I try my very best, yeah, please
The way your treating me
Keep me in misery

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
To walk away
It's up to you
To say we're through

Free me baby, let me go, turn me loose baby
From your love
I got to tell you, listen this
I know sometime
I wonder do you really love me
And if you don't, if you don't
You got to let me know
Let me go
Your love is not shown
Break these chains
Make them tearing apart
Let me love again

Turn me loose
There ain't no use
Let me go, darling 
If you don't want me 
Free me
Let me go
Unchain me
From your love
