The lyrics to "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" by Sting on The Dream of the Blue Turtles.
This is what Sting said in his lyrics book:
"This song was as much as a hymn to my newfound freedom as it was an antidote to the brooding issues of control and surveilance that haunted 'Every Breath You Take.' Perhaps the highest compliment you can pay to a partner is 'I don't own you--you're free.' If you were to try to possess them in the obvious way, you could never appreciate them in the way that really counts. There are too many prisons in the world already" (Sting 99).

@imoldyoung, are you kidding? This was Sting's first big hit as a solo artist, and still a staple of his concerts. But your message rings loud and clear. Why must we possess and control everything in sight?
-
To me, this is not one of Sting's best efforts. A big hit, but it's melody is rather simplistic. A relative throw away.
-
love this song. You sang it great!!!
-
would be a nice song if it didn't have such an awful melody
-

This is definitely not one of Stings biggest hits, but I would like it to be known that the lyrics to this song should be heard by many people and are so true. In my life time I have lost many good friends to the fact that they had a controlling wife who told them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. It can also be the reverse when a man controls the life of a woman. Life is too short, live and let live...
