[Verse 1]
I met him on a beach back in '63
Treated me like a queen, so good to me
But after fifty years of misery
Sitting around, watching TV
[Hook]
Mister it's over now
I'm breaking
[Chorus]
Free as a bird, free as a queen
Gonna go to places I've never been
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve
I'm free as a bird, free as a queen
Gonna go to places I've never been
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve
[Verse 2]
Fifty years ago I was filled with dreams
The more I think about it, the better it seems
A woman's gotta be what the girl wanted to be
Not what she's told be by society
[Hook]
Mister it's over now, I'm breaking free (breaking free)
Mister it's over now
I'm breaking
[Chorus]
Free as a bird, free as a queen
Gonna go to places I've never been
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve
I'm free as a bird, free as a queen
Gonna go to places I've never been
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve
[Bridge]
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
Believe me
I feel free
I feel free
Believe me
[Chorus]
Well 'cause I'm
Free as a bird, free as a queen, (free is what I want)
Gonna go to places I've never been, (free is what I need)
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve (free is what I am, free is what I feel)
I'm free as a bird and free as a queen, (free is what I want)
Gonna go to places I've never been, (free is what I need)
Gonna be with strangers on New Year's Eve (free is what I am, free)
