DON'T ASK ME NOW
DON'T ASK ME THEN
DON'T ASK ME "HOW
IT HAD ALL BEGAN..."
I WAS A FREE BIRD
AND FREEDOM WAS ALL
THAT I LOVED; I CARED
BEFORE MY FALL...
YES I WAS TRAPPED
IN THE CAGE OF LOVE
AND THERE HE FELL
THE FREE FLYING DOVE...
YOU MADE ME BELIEVE
THAT THE FREEDOM'S A MYTH
AND YOUR LOVE'S THE CAGE
I AM SUPPOSED TO BE WITH...
YOU MADE ME FORGET
THE ZEAL OF FLIGHT
YOUR LOVE BLINDED ME
IN IT'S MYSTICAL LIGHT...
I WONDERED WHY
DID I LISTEN
U KNOW SOME SPELL
I THOUGHT WITHIN...
BUT FOR SURE I KNEW
I COULD DIE AT EASE
IN UR CAGE OFLOVE
IF U JUST SAID PLEASE!
BUT THEN ONE DAY
U OPENED THE CAGE
'U ARE A FREE BIRD AGAIN'
U SAID IN A SMILING RAGE...
BUT NOW THERE I WAS
ALL NUMB TO THINK
WHAT I'D DO NOW
IT MADE MY HEART SHRINK.
I HAD LOST THE FLIGHT
THE BEST I HAD BEFORE
"I DONT NEED U "U SAID
"NOT NOW NOT ANYMORE"
I DIN KNOW WHAT TO DO
I DIN KNOW WHAT TO SAY
I THOUGHT IT TO BE A PHASE
AND CHANGE UR MIND; U MAY!
BUT U WERE AS ALWAYS
SO MUCH DAMN SURE
AS WHEN U CONVINCED ME
TO FELL IN LOVE BEFORE...
I WAS STUPID I DIN KNOW
WHATS THE OUTSIDE WAY
SO I CHOSE TO FINALLY DO IT
AND I CHOSE DOWN TO STAY...
U COVERED THE CAGE
WITH AN OLD TATTERED RAG
AND I REMAINED IN THERE
WITH MA DOSE OF LOVE AT LAG...
I WAS STILL HAPPY
FOR JUST BEING AROUND
BEING ABLE TO SEE U
AND SEEING U ARE SOUND!
I MIGHT NOT LIVE FOREVER
TO SEE U IN 'THIS' STATE
ONE DAY THE BIRD WILL VANISH
WITH NO LOVE,THAT'LL BE IT'S FATE...
BUT STILL I WISH
TO LIVE UNTILL THE END
TO HAVE A LIFE WITH LOVE
AND WITH U; TO SPEND...
I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY
U'LL REMOVE THAT COVER
THAT STOPS U FROM SEEING
HOW I NEED UY MORE THAN EVER...
WELL STILL I WISH AGAIN
THE DAY U FIND ME THEREIN
IT WOULD BE COZ OF LOVE
AND I'LL BE LIVIN...
SO,DON'T ASK ME NOW
DON'T ASK ME THEN
WHY UNDER THE RAG
I HAD MA HEAVEN...
