Bird that flew away to a foreign place
Won't come back unchanged
Sleepless as I lay in my laboured stage
Who would rather say
I want a new bird, give me a new bird
I want a new bird, my lover
Yeah, yeah
Sold myself away in the U.S.A.
What a price I paid
Hard 'tis to believe that they'd never seen
Salted waters green
I want a new bird, give me a new bird
I want a new bird, my lover
Yeah, yeah
I want a new bird, give me a new bird
I want a new bird, my lover
I want a new bird, give me a new bird
I want a new bird, my lover
Yeah, yeah
