DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Sometimes Like Butterflies lyrics

(Bruce Roberts / Donna Summer)

Well, I told you not to fall in love

I ain't the kind you can tie down

You went and did it anyway

As though I'd done you harm

Each time I went reachin' out

That's when you let go

Now don't try to pretend

That you didn't know

If you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Come on baby, set me free

I got to be free

If you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Butterflies are meant to fly

I got to be free

Sometimes like butterflies

Oh, yeah, ooh, baby, baby, ahh, yeah

Well I told ya right from the beginning

I couldn't stay for too long - that I had to go

Now, it's not because it's in my heart

Baby, I don't love you

Just because I'm meant to be

I'm meant to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Come on baby, set me free

I got to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Butterflies are meant to fly

I got to be free

Sometimes like butterflies

No, it's not because it's in my heart

Oh, I don't love you

It's only that I'm meant to be

I'm meant to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me, baby

Let me fly, fly, fly, fly

I got to be free

Oh, baby

Love me, love me, love me, baby

Let me fly, fly, fly

I got to be free

Set me free

Set me free

Set me free

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

Oh, oh, baby

Love me, love me, love me, baby

Set me free

Oh, baby

If you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Come on baby, set me free

I got to be free, oh

'Cause if you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Butterflies are meant to fly

I got to be free

'Cause if you wanna love me

If you wanna hold me

Come on baby, set me free

I got to be free
