When I was a small, light-hearted girl
My daddy said: be true and strong
And I was trying all the time
I knew all rules but failed an exam

I'm like a bird, black or white
I live my life wrong or right

I met you then, it was so cool
But I forgot the world has rules
One life's too short to say it all
I'm what I am, can't please them all

I'm like a bird, black or white
I live my life wrong or right

I'm like a, I'm like a bird
I'm like a, I'm like a bird

I'm like a bird, black or white
I live my life wrong or right
