BIRDIE

Like a bird locked up in a cage called love He clipped her wings when she was meant to fly He said a pretty bird, you can't sing But I'll buy you diamonds and ruby rings Like a bird locked up in a cage And how can I escape this place, and go higher, higher How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire And ohh you can't hold me down, no Ohh you can't pull me down, so birdie fly away Higher, higher So birdie fly away Higher, higher So birdie fly away Try to get lost inside this maze all day Your twisted words are getting to my head I say and no more glasses and seeing stars, And no more bruises and battle scars Like a bird locked up in a cage And how can I escape this place, and go higher, higher How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire And ohh you can't hold me down, no Ohh you can't pull me down, so birdie fly away Higher, higher So birdie fly away Higher, higher So birdie fly away I ain't your prisoner, you can't lock me up no more I'll show you what I'm worth Take back what I deserve I ain't your prisoner, you can't chain me down no more Goddamn it's gonna hurt, so fly away little bird And how can I escape this place, and go higher, higher How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire And ohh you can't hold me down, no Ohh you can't pull me down, so birdie fly away (Oh oh oh,) can you hear me Oh oh oh, are you listenin' Oh oh oh, set me free, set me free Oh oh oh, can you hear me Oh oh oh, are you listenin' Oh oh oh, set me free, set me free
