[Verse 1]

Bird that flew away, to a foreign place

Won't come back unchanged

Sleepless as I lay, in my labored state

Who would rather say

[Chorus 1]

I want a new bird

Oh give me a new bird

I want a new bird

My lover

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Sold myself away, in the U.S.A

What a price I paid

Hard 'tis to believe

That they'd never seen

Salted waters clean

[Chorus 2]

I want a new bird

Oh give me a new bird

I want a new bird

My lover

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus 3]

I want a new bird

Oh give me a new bird

I want a new bird

My lover

[Chorus 4]

I want a new bird

Oh give me a new bird

I want a new bird

My lover

Yeah, yeah
