Lyrics

She's Like a Bird
Can't you see that empty look that's in her eye?
Can't you hear it in her melancholy sigh?
Soon the feeling that she used to hold within,
May be gone like a Swallow on the wind.

You can't treat her like you used to do before,
'Cause she's not your little Baby anymore,
Were you thinking you could keep her on the shelf?
Did you think she couldn't make it by herself?

(chorus)
She's Like a Bird, she will struggle if you hold her,
Let her be free, 'cause the lady wants to fly,
Don't pin her wings, she's not yours and you don't own her,
Don't hold her down, you'd be wiser if you,
Just let her be, let her take to the sky,
A bird in a cage will just wither and die.

(Instr. break)

Can't you undrstand a thing she's trying to say?
She is speaking when she looks at you that way,
Would you really want to change her if you could?
Do you think that it would do you any good?

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental ending)
