I wanna be free

Like the bluebirds flying by me

Like the waves out on the blue sea

If your love has to tie me

Dont try me--say goodbye



I wanna 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, whoa whoa



I wanna 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 wanna 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've gotta say



I wanna be free

I wanna be free

I wanna be free
