Lyrics

[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
[PreChorus]
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
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
[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 the Lord knows I'm to blame
[PreChorus]
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
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
