I'm Like A Bird

Nelly Furtado · The Best of Nelly Furtado [2010]

You're beautiful, that's for sure

You'll never ever fade

You're lovely but it's not for sure

That I won't ever change

And though my love is rare

Though my love is true



[Chorus:]

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is

(and baby all I need for you to know is)

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is

All I need for you to know is



Your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years

And it pains me so much to tell

That you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare

Though my love is true



[Chorus:]

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is

(and baby all I need for you to know is)

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is

All I need for you to know is



It's not that I wanna say goodbye

It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me

Each and every single day I know

I'm going to have to eventually give you away

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

Hey I'm just scared

That we may fall through



[Chorus] [3x]

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is

(and baby all I need for you to know is)

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is

All I need for you to know is
