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.



But if I stayed here with you, girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,

And this bird you can not change, oh, oh, oh, oh.

And this bird you can not change.

And this bird you can not change.

Lord knows I can't change.



Bye, bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah,

Though this feeling I can't change.

But please don't take it so badly,

'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.



But if I stayed here with you, girl,

Things just couldn't be the same.

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,

And this bird you'll never change, oh, oh, oh, oh.

And this bird you cannot change.

And this bird you cannot change.

Lord knows, I can't change.

Lord, help me, I can't change.



Lord, I can't change.

Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah?
