You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never, ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years end
And it pains me so much to tell that you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away (fly away)
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
It's not that I wanna' say goodbye
It's just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me, oh
Each and every single day
I know I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare, rare, rare
And though my love is true, yeah
I'm just scared that we may fall through
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (soul is)
I don't know where my home is
