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 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 cannot change

And the 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 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

And the 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
