[Chorus]
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time
[Verse 3]
I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
Thing to lose because there was your stand
On top of all the love you took

Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
To have each thing work fine
[Chorus]
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time
Set You Free This Time was written by Gene Clark.
