Lyrics

Girl I've got a date
And I just mean, I can't stay late, whoah-ooo-oo
All my life and I've warning you, girl
And not just once or twice
Take this from me:
I'm as free as the birds in the tree-eee
Girl I've got a date
And I just mean, I can't stay late, whoah-ooo-oo
All my, all my life and I've warning you, girl
You just can't be my wife
Take this from me:
I'm as free as the birds in the tree-eee-eee
Girl I've got a date
And I mean just, I can't stay late, whoah-ooo-oo
No, I've been warning you, girl
No, no, no, girl, you just can't be my wife
Take this from me:
I'm just as free as the bee-eeeee-eee
