Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
Think you can lock me, baby? I'm not a bird in your cage (oh, oh)
You wanna play with fire, boy, that's a dangerous game (oh, oh)
'Cause I'm better off dancin' alone
While you're spendin' the night with your own ego
Baby, now all you get is the ghost when I leave
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
'Cause these wings were made to fly so I could break free from your hold
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
No, I won't tiptoe 'round ya, this ain't a Russian ballet (oh, oh)
You use your sticks and stones, but, baby, I'm holdin' grenades (oh, oh)
'Cause I got a heart you could never break, no matter the things you say
So shut up and save the air you breathe
Baby, now all you get is the ghost when I leave
Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
'Cause these wings were made to fly so I could break free from your hold
Oh whoa, oh whoa
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
