Lyrics
BIRD IN MY CAGE
VERSE 1 I don?t wanna see another July the 5th.
If it means that I?ll feel something like this.
I was looking for a human emotion didn?t want your dying devotion
You and me were so quick to pretend.
That we had the kind of thing that would never end.
CHORUS Yer, yer I want you. I can?t say no it?s incredibly urgent
Yer, yer I need you. Wrapped up tight in a passionate curl with
Yer, yer I love you. But those three words I?m never gonna say
I gonna keep you. The Bird in my Cage.
VERSE 2 I never know what you want me to think baby
I take a sip and then I want the whole drink
I thought I liked playing around in the dark
Eating Dolphins and swimming with the Sharks
You and me will never know why. How we make other people cry
CHORUS Yer, yer I want you. I can?t say no it?s incredibly urgent
Yer, yer I need you. Wrapped up tight in a passionate curl with
Yer, yer I love you. But those three words I?m never gonna say
I gonna keep you. The Bird in my Cage.
BRIDGE Was it a blessing or was it just a curse.
I wanna love you but it?s gonna get worse
VERSE 3 I was looking for a new beginning.
Didn?t see that the curtain was falling on me.
We were actors and we played our parts.
But then we played with other peoples hearts.
You and me were so quick to pretend.
That we had the kind of thing that would never end.
CHORUS Yer, yer I want you. I can?t say no it?s incredibly urgent
Yer, yer I need you. Wrapped up tight in a passionate curl with
Yer, yer I love you. But those three words I?m never gonna say
I gonna keep you. The Bird in my Cage.
CHORUS Yer, yer I want you.
Yer, yer I need you.
Yer, yer I love you.
I gonna keep you.
Yer I?m gonna keep you
The Bird in my Cage.
The Bird in my Cage
The Bird in my Cage
