You don't want her

You don't want her,  you want the idea of her

You don't want to play,  you just want to say you've won

You think she's got the answers,  but she's just another riddle

You don't want her life,  and she's not going to fit into your ticky-tacky box

You see she drinks the wine so you start plotting your own grapevine

You hear her sing away so you start building your own stage

You'd do anything to keep her you don't know she sees the free bird

Flying off into the night

Take flight

Start again into a new life

You don't want her,  you want the idea of her

You don't want to play,  you just want to say you've won

You think she's got the answers,  but she's just another riddle

You don't want her life,  and she's not going to fit into your ticky-tacky box

Birds need trees to build their nest

Grab some grub and take a rest

Stay for sunshine, hide from the rain

But when the cold wind blows, it's time to go

Take to the sky

Say goodbye

Never to come back again

You don't want her,  you want the idea of her

You don't want to play,  you just want to say you've won

You think she's got the answers,  but she's just another riddle

You don't want her life,  and she's not going to fit into your ticky-tacky box

You can't cage her

You can't tame her

You can't take her from her life of flight

Midnights and lost plights

You can't love her

Or rise above her

You must pluck her from spell of you

Wizardry and voodoo

You don't want her,  you want the idea of her

You don't want to play,  you just want to say you've won

You think she's got the answers,  but she's just another riddle

You don't want her life,  and she's not going to fit into your ticky-tacky box
