Intro :
Like a bird on a w ire like a d runk in a midnight c hoir
I have t ried in my w ay to be f ree
Like a worm on a h ook like a k night in an o ld fashioned b ook
I have s aved all my r ibbons for t hee
And if I___ have been unkind
I h ope you will let it go b y
And if I ___ I have been untrue
Well I h ope you know it was n ot to you
Like a b abe stillb orn like a b east with his h orn
I have t orn everyo ne who reached out to m e
But I swear by this s ong and by a ll that I have done w rong
That I will m ake it m ake it all up to t hee
I saw a man leaning on his crutch
And he sa id to me "Why do you a sk for so much?"
But I saw a w oman she was leaning in a door
And she c ried out to me "Why not a sk f or mo re"
Like a b ird on a w ire like a d runk in a midnight c hoir
I have t ried in my w ay to be f ree
But I swear by this s ong and by a ll that I have done w rong
That I will m ake it m ake it all up to t hee
