Set him free set him free for I love him you see
(Order in the court do you swear to tell the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God)
Yes I do Judge I don't believe in divorces unless they just have to be
But after you have heard my story I know you'll set this man free
It began right after the wedding she cheated and she lied from the start
And I could see from the way they were headed
This woman would soon break his heart
Set him free set him free for I love him you see

The three of us were always the best of friends
And when I leave this courtroom Judge I know our friendship ends
If you could have heard the awful things that I've heard her say
She'd slapped his face she celled his name and he'd just turn away
And the nights we went out for fun it was all so plain to see
She would dance all night with someone else and she'd leave him there with me
Set him free set him free for I love him you see

Now I ask you Judge to understand think it over slow
You see I fell in love with him and I don't care who knows
I would respect him as a husband and I would treat him like a man
I know I can help him find more happiness than this woman ever can
Now Judge you've heard my story it's true as it can be
I even told you that I love him so Judge won't you please set him free
Set him free set him free for I love him you see (set him free)
