I’m Like a Bird Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (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'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

[Verse 2]
Your faith in me brings me to tears (Oh)
Even after all these years, years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well

[Pre-Chorus]
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (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'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Bridge]
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try
To tell me, me that you love me (Oh-oh)
Each and every single day
I know I'm gonna have to eventually
Give you away

[Break]
And though my love is rare, rare, rare
And though my love is true, yeah
Hey, I'm just scared
That we may fall through
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm like a bird (I'm like a bird)
I don't know where my soul is (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'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (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'll only fly away
(I don't know where my soul is)
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
(I don't know where my home is, oh)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
(I don't know where my soul is)
(I don't know where my home is)
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby, all I need for you to know is

[Outro]
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (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'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is

If Nelly Furtado were a bird, what sort of bird would she be?

I have pigeons that keep leaving eggs in my planters. We’re on our fourth set of baby pigeons now. Maybe I was a pigeon in a past life or maybe a finch or condor or even a pterodactyl – they’re big and strong and getting places."
