Sometimes Like Butterflies (Long Version)
Well, I told you not to fall in love
I ain't the kind you can tie down
You went and did it anyway
As though I'd done you harm
Each time I went reachin' out
That's when you let go
Now don't try to pretend
That you didn't know
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I got to be free
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
Oh, yeah, oh, baby, baby, oh, yeah
Well, I told ya right from the beginning
I couldn't stay for too long, that I had to go
Now, it's not because it's in my heart
Baby, I don't love you
Just because I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I got to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
No, it's not because it's in my heart
Oh, I don't love you
It's only that I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Set me free
Set me free, set me free
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Set me free
Oh, baby
If you wanna love me (set me free, set me free, set me free)
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free (oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
I got to be free, oh
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me (oh baby)
If you wanna hold me (set me free, baby)
Come on, baby, set me free (let me fly, fly, fly, fly)
I got to be free
I ain't the kind you can tie down
You went and did it anyway
As though I'd done you harm
Each time I went reachin' out
That's when you let go
Now don't try to pretend
That you didn't know
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I got to be free
If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
Oh, yeah, oh, baby, baby, oh, yeah
Well, I told ya right from the beginning
I couldn't stay for too long, that I had to go
Now, it's not because it's in my heart
Baby, I don't love you
Just because I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I got to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies
No, it's not because it's in my heart
Oh, I don't love you
It's only that I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Let me fly, fly, fly
I got to be free
Set me free
Set me free, set me free
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, oh, oh, baby
Love me, love me, love me, baby
Set me free
Oh, baby
If you wanna love me (set me free, set me free, set me free)
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free (oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
I got to be free, oh
'Cause if you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are meant to fly
I got to be free
'Cause if you wanna love me (oh baby)
If you wanna hold me (set me free, baby)
Come on, baby, set me free (let me fly, fly, fly, fly)
I got to be free
