Lately I've been thinking
About what I claim to be
And all that you mean to me
And mama told me yesterday
Don't stop singing now that you're free
And quit puffing on all them trees
If the caged bird sings of freedom
Whats a free one have to hum on babe
Hum on babe
If the cage bird sings of freedom
Whats a free one have to hum on
I'd rather be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Well lately I've been feeling
Like this ain't just for fun
Cause damn
I've been on the run
And mama told me yesterday
To stop chasing the sun
Cause you'll lose him
He's the one
If the caged bird sings of freedom
Whats a free one have to hum on babe
Hum on babe
If the cage bird sings of freedom
Whats a free one have to hum on
I'd rather be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
Be locked away with you
Locked away
Locked away
He said you're in too deep just hold me down
I said you're in too deep babe slow it down
My mama's calling, don't you make a sound
I'm everything she said I'd be when she's not around
