Hey-hey.
Love-love.
Yeah-yeah.
Ah-ha.

Freddie's dead.
That's what I said.
Let the man rap a plan,
Said he'd see him home.
But his hope was a rope,
And he should've known.
It's hard to understand,
There was love in this man.
I'm sure all would agree,
That his misery,
Was his woman and things.
Now Freddie's dead.
That's what I said.

Everybody's misused him,
Ripped him off and abused him.
Another junkie plan,
Pushin' dope for the man.
A terrible blow,
But thats how it go'.
a-Freddie's on the corner now.
If you wanna be a junkie, wow.
Remember Freddie's dead.

We're all built up with progress,
But sometimes I must confess.
We can deal with rockets and dreams,
But reality, what does it mean?
Ain't nothin' said,
'Cause Freddie's dead.

Hey-hey.
Love-love.
Hey-hey.
Yeah-yeah.
Ha-ha.
Love-love.
Heah-yeah.
Ha-ha.
Yeah-yeah.
Freddie's dead.

[ Instrumental break. ]

All I want is some peace of mind,
With a little love I'm tryin' to find.
This could be such a beautiful world,
With a wonderful girl.
Ooo, I need a woman child.
Don't wanna be like Freddie now.
'Cause Freddie's dead.

Love-love.
Ha-ha.
Boo-hoo.
Hey-hey.
Love-love.
Hey-hey.
