You're Only As Free As You Feel

I was standing in the bathroom of Starbucks this afternoon taking a wee. And a really nice 60’s-70’s hippie/political song was playing on the Muzak. The refrain or chorus of the song was, “You’re only as free as you feel, you’re only as free as you feel.”

I’ve searched the web for this with Google and Yahoo and various sites that claim to have lots of lyrics, but I can’t find what song or group this is from. I’ve heard it at least a trillion times, that’s for sure.

Anyway it sure is a true statement!

If anyone knows what song this is from I would sure appreciate your contacting me.

George Reynoso figured it out right away. I got the lyrics a little wrong. It is a Jefferson Airplane song originally published in 1971 on the studio album Bark.
Jefferson Airplane: PRETTY AS YOU FEEL (J. Covington/J. Casady/J. Kaukonen)
You're only pretty as you feel
Only pretty as you feel inside
You're only pretty as you feel
Just as pretty as you feel inside
When you wake up in the morning
Rub some sleep from your eye
Look inside your mirror
Comb your hairDon't give, no vanity a second thought
No no no
Beauty's only skin deep it goes just so far 'cause
You're only pretty as you feel
As pretty as you feel inside
You're only pretty as you feel (Break)
So now you're feelin' pretty
Now you're feelin' good
Now you're ready to face the world girl
Now you're feelin' good
Go out there 'n' knock 'em silly girl
Go out there 'n' show 'em how ta thrill
Go out there 'n' show 'em how ta thrill'cause you're only pretty as you feel
You're only pretty as you feel
You're only pretty as you feel
pretty as you feel inside
You're only pretty as you feel
feelin' so pretty, feelin' so pretty,
You're only pretty as you feel
feelin' so pretty, feelin' so pretty, feelin' so pretty,
feelin' so pretty, pretty mama.
