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
Laughing in the sun
Always having fun
Doing 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
