I Wanna Be Free Lyrics
Like the bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say goodbye.
Don't say you love me, say you like me.
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Woh-oh.
Walk along the sand.
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things,
Without any strings to tie me down.
Like the warm September wind, babe.
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe, again, babe,
I've gotta say.
I wanna be free.
I wanna be free.
I wanna be free.
I think this song sounds like it's about not wanting commitment in a relationship. All the benefits with none of the obligation. I have a Monkee's boxed set of cds that has a version of this song that sounds much more up tempo and upbeat than the one that's usually heard. I like the upbeat one better, and used to consider it a sort of theme for my dating life, lol.
I agree. It's about not wanting commitment. How I wish I'd taken this to heart when I first heard it <sigh>. I've only just heard the uptempo version and I'm not sure I like it.. I'll give it a chance to grow on me but this is the one I gre up with.
i love this song, its so lovely lol, does anyone else like it?
This song reminds me of a girl. A girl that i wanted more then anything to be with, but due to the situation that we found ourselves in had to grow apart. But every time i here this song i wish that i would have told her exactly what i was thinking. I think this is a song about someone who wants someone to be there for them when they need them, but still have the freedome to live their own life. just my thoughts
