Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're beautiful, and that's for sure

You'll never, ever fade

You're lovely, but it's not for sure

I won't ever change

[PreChorus]

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

[Chorus]

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is (All I need for you to know is)

[Verse 2]

Your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years, years

And it pains me so much to tell

That you don't know me that well

[PreChorus]

And though my love is rare, yeah

And though my love is true

[Chorus]

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away (I don't know)

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Verse 3]

It's not that I wanna say goodbye

It's just that every time you try

To tell me, me that you love me, oh-oh

Each and every single day

I know I'm gonna have to eventually give you away, yeah

[PreChorus]

And though my love is rare, rare, rare

And though my love is true, yeah

Hey, I'm just scared, yeah, yeah

That we may fall through

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Chorus]

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

(I don't know where my soul is) I don't know where my soul is

(I don't know where my home is) I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away (I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is)

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Chorus]

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
