Lyrics
Butterfly baby why you gotta fly so high
You only wanted a taste of that great big sky
Bet you're only chasin' after
another one of their lies
Butter-butterfly
Why ya gotta fly so high so high high
You got beautiful wings baby
All covered up in black
You gave up a beautiful thing and you
Might never make it back
You could use your wings, use your wings
For better things,
Butter-butterfly
Why you gotta fly so high
But you gotta come down someday
You gotta touch the ground
Yeah you gotta catch your breath
Before the wind carries you away
Butterfly baby why you gotta fly so high
You only wanted a taste of that great big sky
You're only chasin' after another one of their lies
Butter-butterfly
Why ya gotta fly so high so high high
