Elvis Presley - I Want To Be Free lyrics

(words & music by jerry leiber - mike stoller) There's no joy in my heart, Only sorrow And i'm sad As a man can be I sit alone in the darkness Of my lonely room And this room Is a prison to me I look at window And what to i see I see a bird Way up in the tree I want to be free free Free - ee - ee - ee I want to be free Like the bird in the tree What good are my eyes, They can't see you And my arms, They can't hold so tight I have two lips That are yearning, But they're no good to me Cause i know i can't kiss you tonight I look at window And what to i see I see a bird Way up in the tree I want to be free free Free - ee - ee - ee I want to be free Like the bird in the tree I want to be free Like the bird in the tree
