Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

When I got stoned was a brute and a pig
Mistreating myself was something I dig
I treated her bad, I know I've done wrong
I pushed her away and would come on too strong

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

I locked her in jail and threw away the key
I took her for granted, thought of only me
My preoccupation was selfish extreme
It all comes down to a low self-esteem

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me

Slowly come round to a new way of being
How badly behaved, I've finally seen
So please forgive me and give me this chance
May I kindly request that we have this next dance?

Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
Got to set her free so she'll fly back to me
