Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh, whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
[Verse 1]
Think you can lock me, baby? I'm not a bird in your cage
You wanna play with fire? Boy, that's a dangerous game
'Cause I'm better off dancing alone
While you're spending the night with your own ego
Baby, now all you get is the ghost
When I leave, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh, whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
'Cause these wings were made to fly so I can break free from your hold
Oh, whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
[Verse 2]
No, I won't tiptoe 'round you, this ain't a Russian ballet
You use your sticks and stones, but baby, I'm holding grenades
'Cause I got a heart you could never break no matter the things you say
So shut up and save the air you breathe
Baby, now all you get is the ghost
When I leave, oh, yeah, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh, whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
'Cause these wings were made to fly so I can break free from your hold
Oh, whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
