Mad Men: Set Me Free Transcript
Chorus:
Set me free, why don’t you babe
Get out my life, why don’t you babe
‘Cause you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’ on
You don’t really need me
But you keep me hangin’ on
Betty: You don’t listen to me.
Rachel: You don’t want to run away with me, you just want to run away.

Set me free, why don’t you babe

Rachel: You were expecting me to be a man. My father was, too.
Peggy: I never expect him to be any other way than what he is.
Joan: I forgot for a second that you’re incapable of doing something nice without expecting something nicer in return.

Set me free, why don’t you babe
Get out my life, why don’t you babe
Carla: You best stop talking now.
Rachel: If I weren’t a woman, I’d be allowed to ask you the same question.
Joan: I am not your darling and I don’t want your kisses!
Peggy: Is that a threat? Because I’ve already taken somebody up on one of those tonight.
Faye: I chose to be where I am. I don’t view it as a failure.
Peggy: And I am not scared of any of this.
Chorus:
Set me free, why don’t you babe
