I want to be free like the bluebird flying by me Like the waves out on the blue sea Your love has to tie me, don't try me, say goodbye I want to be free, don't say you love me, say you like me But when I need you beside me Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, oh-oh-oh-oh I want to hold your hand, walk along the sand Laughin' in the sun, always havin' fun Doin' all those things without any strings to tie me down I want to be free like the warm September wind, babe Say you'll always be my friend , babe We can make it to the end, babe Again, babe, I gotta say I want to be free I want to be free I want to be free
