I Want to Be Free (record version – take 9 / 2010) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

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 (I want to be free free)
And what to I see (oh or be free)
I see a bird (I want to be free free)
Way up in the tree (oh or be free)
I want to be free (oh, yes), free (oh, yes)
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
Like the bird in the tree (want to be free)


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 (I want to be free free)
And what to I see (oh or be free)
I see a bird (I want to be free free)
Way up in the tree (oh or be free)
I want to be free (oh, yes), free (oh, yes)
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
Like the bird in the tree (want to be free)
I want to be free
Like the bird in the tree (want to be free)
