Lyrics
I wanna be free
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
If your love has to tie me, don't try me
Say goodbye
I wanna be free
Don't say you love me say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, whoa-whoa
I wanna hold your hand
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down
I wanna be free
Like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend, babe
We can make it to the end, babe
Again, babe, I've gotta say
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Writer(s): Bobby Hart, Tommy Boyce
