i want to be free

Singer:elvis presley

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
