[Intro]
You're beautiful

[Verse 1]
You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely, but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change

[Pre-Chorus]
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is

[Verse 2]
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well

[Pre-Chorus]
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Bridge]
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me
Each and every single day
I know I'm gonna have to eventually
Give you away

[Breakdown]
And though my love is rare
And though my love's so true
Hey, I'm just scared
That we gonna fall down
That we gonna fall
Yeah

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird, yeah
I don't know where my soul is (I don't know where my soul is)
I don't know where my home is (I don't know where my home is)
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, yeah
And I don't know, I don't know
(I don't know where my soul is)
(I don't know where my home is)
Oh oh oh
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
(I don't know where my soul is)
(I don't know where my home is)
Yeah

[Outro]
Oh
