Like a sparrow with a wounded wing
Left all alone, to a tree I'll sing
But it can't respond to my melody
And it can't lend me harmony
It's just one my one thin lonely voice
And it's not my choice to be alone
But I've come too far now to go back home
On my own it's no fun to roam
I've got to find me someone to be around
When all these blues get me down
Maybe you've got the time
Maybe you'll share yourself with me
I don't need to call you mine

Just like you, babe I need to be free
And just like you, babe I need to be me
Just like you, baby I would be so easy to love

I don't want someone to watch over me
I don't care about the holes in your jeans
You just come and you do what you do
And could you be there baby when I call for you
I could use some peace of mind

It's not my choice to be alone
But I've come to far now to run back home
On my own it's no fun to roam
I've got to find me someone to be around
When all these blues get me down
Maybe you've got the time
Maybe you'll share yourself with me
I don't need to call you mine

Just like you baby I need to be free
Just like you baby I need to be me
Just like you baby I would be so easy to love
