If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But if I stay here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change.
Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah
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 stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
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!
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But if I stay here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change.
Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah
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 stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same

And this bird you cannot change
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!
