Woah, oh, woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Woah, oh, woah, oh-oh-oh
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 a cage (oh-oh, oh-oh)
You wanna play with fire, boy
that's a dangerous game (oh-oh, oh-oh)

'Cause I'm better off dancing alone
While you're spending the night with your own ego
Baby, now all you get is a ghost
When I leave, oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?

'Cause these wings weren't made to fly
So I could break free from your hold
Woah, oh-oh-oh
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, oh-oh)
You use your sticks and stones
but baby, I'm holding grenades (oh-oh, oh-oh)

'Cause I got a heart you could never break
no matter the things you say
So shut up and say the air you breathe
Baby, now all you get is a ghost
When I leave, oh, yeah, yeah

Woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I dance when you tie my hands up?
Woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?

'Cause these wings weren't made to fly
So I could break free from your hold
Woah, oh-oh-oh
How can I lo-lo-lo-love if you keep me in chains?
