If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
Well, I'm a speed travellin' on, now
coz there's too many places I've go to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
coz I'm as free as a bird, now, yeh
And this bird you cannot change-ohohohoh
Chorus:
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
LORD knows, I can change

By and by, baby it's my sweet-love, yeh
Y'know this's a feelin' I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
coz the Lord knows, I'm to blame
But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
coz I'm as free as a bird, now
and this bird you cannot change, ohohohoh


And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
LORD knows, I can change
Lord help me, I can cha-ya-ya-ya-ange

Lord, I can change
won't you fly, freeeee bird, yeh
