[Verse 1]
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
Because there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Because I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
The Lord knows, I can't change
[Verse 2]
Bye, bye, baby, it's been a sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take it so badly
Because the Lord knows I'm to blame
But if I stayed here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
Because I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you'll never change
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
[Outro]
Lord, I can't change
Won't you fly high, free bird, yeah
