I Want To Be Free (Record Version - Take 1-8 / 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 my window
And what do I see
I see a bird
Way up in the tree
I want to be free, oh yes, free oh yes
I want to be free


What good are my eyes
They can′t see you
They can't hold you 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 my window
And what do I see
I see a bird
Way up in the tree
I want to be free, oh yes, free, oh yes, I
Like the bird in the tree
I want to be free
Like the bird in the tree
