Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free

I knew the day you met me
I could love you if you let me
Though you touched my cheek and said
"How easy you'd forget me"

You said
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free

Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free

On a velvet mornin'
When our love was formin'
I said it wouldn't hurt me
If you left without warnin'

I said
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we

And you made me understand
Right from the start
I could hold your gentle hand
But never hold your heart

So why the cryin'?
Was afraid we're lyin'
When we both agreed
There'd be no tears in our goodbyin'

Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?

Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?

So why the cryin'?
Was afraid we're lyin'
When we both agreed
There'd be no tears in our goodbyin'
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?

Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?

Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Free
Free
Free
Free
Why aren't we?

Butterflies are free
