Sometimes Like Butterflies Lyrics - Dusty Springfield

(Bruce Roberts / Donna Summer) 

Well, I told you not to fall in love 

I ain't the kind you can tie down 

You went and did it anyway 

As though I'd done you harm 

Each time I went reachin' out 

That's when you let go 

Now don't try to pretend 

That you didn't know 

If you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Come on baby, set me free 

I got to be free

If you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Butterflies are meant to fly 

I got to be free 

Sometimes like butterflies 

Oh, yeah, ooh, baby, baby, ahh, yeah 

Well I told ya right from the beginning 

I couldn't stay for too long - that I had to go 

Now, it's not because it's in my heart 

Baby, I don't love you 

Just because I'm meant to be 

I'm meant to be free 

'Cause if you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Come on baby, set me free 

I got to be free 

'Cause if you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Butterflies are meant to fly 

I got to be free 

Sometimes like butterflies 

No, it's not because it's in my heart 

Oh, I don't love you 

It's only that I'm meant to be 

I'm meant to be free 

'Cause if you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me, baby 

Let me fly, fly, fly, fly 

I got to be free 

Oh, baby 

Love me, love me, love me, baby 

Let me fly, fly, fly 

I got to be free 

Set me free 

Set me free 

Set me free 

Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby 

Oh, oh, baby 

Love me, love me, love me, baby 

Set me free 

Oh, baby 

If you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Come on baby, set me free 

I got to be free, oh 

'Cause if you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Butterflies are meant to fly 

I got to be free 

'Cause if you wanna love me 

If you wanna hold me 

Come on baby, set me free 

I got to be free
