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 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, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
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 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'll never change, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
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?
