Nelly Furtado's I'M LIKE A BIRD except not a penguin or emu, just the ones that can fly but I won't crap on your car or anything, that's not what this is about

Play along at home with the 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 repeat] [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 repeat, like 4 times] [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
