[Intro] [Verse 1] If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see [Pre-Chorus] But if I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same [Chorus] 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And the bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows I can't change [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah-yeah Though this feeling I can't change But, please, don't take it so badly 'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame [Pre-Chorus] But, if I stay here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same [Chorus] 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now And this bird you cannot change Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And the bird you cannot change And this bird you cannot change Lord knows I can't change Lord, help me, I can't change [Outro] Lord, I can't change Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah [Guitar Solo]
