Well I told ya not to fall in love

I ain't the kind you can tie down

You went did it anyway

As though I'd done ya harm

And each time I went reaching out

That's when you let go

Now don't try and pretend

That you didn't know



CHORUS:

If you wanna hold me

If you wanna love me

Come on baby set me free

I've got to be free

If you wanna hold me

If you wanna love me

Butterflies were made to fly

I've got to be free

Sometimes like butterflies

Oh don't hold me no no...



Well I told you right from the beginning

I couldn't stay for love

I had to go

Now it's not because in my heart

Baby I don't love you

It's just because I'm meant to be

I'm meant to be free



REAPEAT CHORUS



Now it's not because in my heart

Baby I don't love you

It's only that I'm meant to be

I'm meant to be free



If you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Come on baby set me free

I've got to be free

If you wanna hold me

If you wanna love me

Butterflies were made to fly

I've got to be free

Sometimes like butterflies.
