I told her "thank you" she said "that's it" I got real nervous she kissed my lips And in that moment I swore she was all mine We got to talking and she began to compliment me Said that she likes the way i sing and perhaps she could help me But I was caught up in the pain behind her eyes She said make me a bird I’ll fly away Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game I said make me a bird and I’ll fly too Don’t care where just want to spend some time with you A little time with you Just a blue eyed boy and a green eyed girl Under the brightest moon of the whole damn year and I thought I’d wake up to find this a dream Her eyes make diamonds look like loose change The kind that make a man lose track of what he’s sayin’ like She said make me a bird I’ll fly away Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game I said make me a bird and I’ll fly too Don’t care where just me and you Listen don’t want to play the game just want your time And if I occupy the contents of your mind Then make me a bird I’ll fly with you Don’t care where just want to sit and spit the truth Just a blue eyed boy and a green eyed girl Under the brightest moon of the whole damn year and I She said make me a bird I’ll fly away Beyond the confines of the sick, sick game I said make me a bird and I’ll fly too Don’t care where just me and you Listen don’t want to play the game just want your time And if I occupy the contents of your mind Then make me a bird I’ll fly with you Don’t care where just want to sit and spit the truth Make me a bird God make me a bird Make me a bird God make me a bird
