Be Free peaked at #86 on Billboard’s R&B chart in 1987, making the lowest charting song from Shirley Murdock’s debut album.
Tonight
Now, this little girl was born to dance
My good side
My bad side was worrying me
You see the man I love
Ain't nowhere to be found
I'm staring at the phone
But it won't make a sound
These four walls are getting me down
I gotta get on a merry-go-round
What you gonna do?
I made up my mind
Tonight I'll be free
I'm gonna dance
Like I belong to me tonight
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance tonight
I'm gonna dance like I belong to me
I'm tryna keep it together
It's 'bout to get me down, oh
What you want from a lady
I don't understand
You're always peeking at the ladies
With the short dresses on
You only want me in mine
When we're alone
I'm going out tonight
I'm in a real good mood
I need a change of space
And a fresh attitude
I'm tired
Now I can't take it no more
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
I made up my mind
Tonight I'll be free
I'm gonna dance like
I belong to me tonight
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance tonight
I'm gonna dance like I belong to me
Tonight
I'm gonna be free
I'm gonna be free
