The lyrics to "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" by Sting on The Dream of the Blue Turtles.
This is what Sting said in his lyrics book:
"This song was as much as a hymn to my newfound freedom as it was an antidote to the brooding issues of control and surveilance that haunted 'Every Breath You Take.' Perhaps the highest compliment you can pay to a partner is 'I don't own you--you're free.' If you were to try to possess them in the obvious way, you could never appreciate them in the way that really counts. There are too many prisons in the world already" (Sting 99).
