Singer Joan Osborne was born on July 8, 1962, in the town of Anchorage, KY, but it wasn't until relocating to New York City in the early '90s (to study at N.Y.U.'s film school) that she began to take a singing career seriously after singing Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" at a local bar's "open mic night." In addition to Holiday, Osborne looked to such legendary vocalists as Etta James and Ray Charles as role models, as the up-and-coming singer decided not to cater to major record companies and formed her own label, Womanly Hips, which resulted in such releases as 1992's in-concert Soul Show, among others. But eventually, Osborne decided to sign on with a major label, Mercury, which in turn issued the singer's next release, Relish, in March of 1995. The album proved to have a long life, as almost a year after its initial release the track "One of Us" became a massive MTV and radio smash, camping out at the number one spot on the U.S. singles chart for two weeks and Relish eventually racked up sales of three million copies.

Think Lyrics

Joan Osborne

Think
by Joan Osborne

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

Let's go back let's go back let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you. You couldn't 'o been too much more than 10
I ain't no psychiatrist I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much IQ to see what you're doin' to me

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

Freedom (freedom), Freedom (freedom)

There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

People walkin' 'round everyday planning games and taking scores
Tryin to make other people lose their minds well be careful you don't lose
yours

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do

(vamp)

Oh Freedom (freedom) Freedom (freedom) . . .

There ain't nothing you could ask I can answer what you want
But I was gonna change my mind if you keep doin' things I don't

You better think (THINK!)
Think about what you're trying to do to me
Think (THINK THINK)
Let your mind go. Let yourself go free

You need me and I need you
Without each other there ain't nothing we can do

(vamp)

Freedom . . .
