My mama told me everything, gave me her life
But mama never told me that I would be a wife
My father taught me everything
taught me wrong from right
Oh daddy get me out of here, I cannot deal with life
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold
They don't believe a word you say
they don't believe in soul

And I from a country land, where beauty only grows
You know I'd love to leave someday, I dare not ever go
I don't need anybody
But I want someone
You're gonna need somebody, or you'll end up alone

Perhaps I'll be a bird one day, if I'm good enough
And I'll get up and fly away and give up all this stuff
And I'll give them to a father, he'll know the same as you
As every human is unique, so every thought is too
And sonny boy's awful nice, kept his parents clean
And sonny never told a lie til the day that he met me
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold
They don't believe a word you say
they don't believe in soul

You're gonna need somebody
You're gonna want someone
You're gonna need somebody, or you'll end up alone
My mama taught me everything, gave me her life
Well mama never told me that I would be a wife
My father gave me everything
taught me wrong from right
Oh daddy get me out of here, I cannot deal with life

Perhaps I'll be a bird one day, if I'm good enough
Then I'll give up and fly away and give up all this stuff
And if you see my sisters, they are small and gold
They don't believe a word you say
they don't believe in soul
Perhaps I'll be a bird one day
If I am good enough
And I'll spread out and fly way
And give up all this stuf

I am from a country land
Where beauty only grows
And though I'd love to leave some day
I'd dare not ever go
And should you see my sister
She is small and gold
They will not hear a word you say
They don't believe in souls

Perhaps I'll be a bird one day
If I am good enough
And I'll get up and fly way
And give up all this stuff
I am from a country land
Where beauty only grows
And though I'd dream to leave some day
I'd dare not ever go

And should you see my sister
They are small and gold
They will not hear a word you say
They don't believe in souls
I am no deceiver
I am a believer
I am no deceiver
