Well love's a bird in flight
She'll leave you if you let her
Don't hold too tight
For you'll break her in your hands
It's neither wrong or right
No risk worse or better
And she's so hard to forgive
But it's harder to forget her
Yeah yeah

When you love so long
It gets so hard to know
If your love's still strong
Or if you let her go
It's neither right or wrong
There's just one thing that I know

Love's a bird in flight
She'll leave you if you let her
Don't hold too tight
For you'll break her in your hands
She's been dancing with your heart
Since the very day you met her
But she's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her
Yeah

So find a love that's true
That can't be bored or sold
Find a love brand new
Even when it's gray and old
I can't tell you what to do
There's just one thing I've been told

Well love's a bird in flight
She'll be flying free forever
Try as you might
You'll never catch her in your hands
She may stay with you tonight
Or she'll leave you with the feathers
And she's so hard to forgive
But it's harder to forget her
She's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her
Love love every day
But I wish I'd never met her
Ooh
