I Want To Be Free

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller)

There's no joy in my heart,

Only sorrow

And i'm sad

As a man can be

I sit alone in the darkness

Of my lonely room

And this room

Is a prison to me



I look at window

And what to i see

I see a bird

Way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

Like the bird in the tree



What good are my eyes,

They can't see you

And my arms,

They can't hold so tight

I have two lips

That are yearning,

But they're no good to me

Cause i know i can't kiss you tonight



I look at window

And what to i see

I see a bird

Way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

Like the bird in the tree

I want to be free

Like the bird in the tree
