There's no joy in my heart,
Only sorrow
And I'm sad
As a man can be
I sit alone in the darkness
Of my lonely room
And this room
Is a prison to me

I look out my window
And what do I see
I see a bird
way up in a tree
I want to be free free
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree

Oh what good are my eyes,
They can't see you
And my arms,
They can't hold you so tight
I have two lips
That are yearning,
But they're no good to me
Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight

I look out my window
And what do I see
I see a bird
Way up in a tree
I want to be free free
Free - ee - ee - ee
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree
I want to be free
like the bird in a tree

Leiber and Stoller wrote this one. I remember watching an interview with them saying it was a quick song to write. Elvis, as usual, didn't let them down with his performance of the track. I really like this one.
