Lyrics

Girl, I've got a date
And I just mean I can't stay late (Woah-oh)
All my life and I've been warning you, girl
And not just once or twice
Take this from me, I'm as free as the birds in the tree
Girl, I've got a date
And I just mean I can't stay late (Woah-oh)
All my, all my life I've been warning you, girl
You just can't be my wife
Take this from me, I'm as free as the birds in the tree
Girl, I've got a date
And then just we can't stay late (Woah-oh)
Know, I've been warning you, girl
No, no, no, girl, you just can't be my wife
Take this from me, I'm as free, as free as the bee
