Improve your listening and writing skills by filling in the blanks of the song lyrics. Our proposal today is the 90’s hit Freedom in the shorter Robbie Williams version. The song was composed by George Michael who performed it many times, but in a longer +6 minute version. The song speaks about becoming free from a conventional relationship with a girl, in order for him to live as he truly is. But the lyrics can be applied to being free from many other conventions that block us in life. Do you agree?

Informal Contractions

- For example:
- Gotta = Have got to – Gotta have some faith
- Gimme = Give me – Gimme your money.
- Gonna = Going to – What are you gonna do?
- Kinda = Kind of – The joke was kinda funny.
- Watcha = What are you – Whatcha studying?
- Wanna = Want to – If you wanna be my lover.
My score 9/19
Well done!
I think the lyrics stills the George Michael version. It’s longer than the Robbie’s song.
