I always wanted a bird of my own
My mother had one but it had flown
Away when she opened the window
To let it be free as she loved it so
She always said that it would be,
"If you love someone you set them free"
And I know that I would love it so
And I would open the window
It's always sad when one's not good
Being in a cage made of Norwegian wood
I'd hope that someone would love me so
Much as to open my window
Dooo doo doo dooo doo
I once had a man, or should I say
He once had me for a single day
I thought that he had loved me so
But he would not open my window
I flew away in a single day
He chased me but I ran away
Back to a place that I could be
Myself and by myself be free
I always wanted a bird of my own
My mother had one but it had flown
Away when she opened the window
To let it be free as she loved it so
