Caged Bird Songtext
von Muthoni Drummer Queen

I love myself
Can′t tell me nothing
Can't tell me nothing

I know why the caged bird sings
I know what it means
Wanting to be free
Wanting to be healed

Wanting to be whole
Wanting to be me

Yeah, I remember what my mother said
Oh, well, oh
She went like you on the TV news
Always looking loose
Always feminine
What man could make a home of you?

If I made it right
I couldn′t make it
Living in a nightmare
So I gave it up


I love myself
There's nobody who's bringing me down
I love myself
There′s just me and myself and I

Revolution
I became my own friend

You can tell me nothing
I am through with suffering

Always feeling blue
Always so confused
Always feeling used
Nothing ever good
Never in the mood
No, I blessed his hands
My mighty hands

That pulled me (Pulled me)
And lifted me out
Of self-doubt (Self-doubt)
And self-hate (Self-hate)
And made it safe
Really safe to be myself


If I made it right
I couldn′t make it
Living in a nightmare
So I gave it up

I love myself
There's nobody who′s bringing me down
I love myself
There's just me and myself and I

I love myself
Can′t tell me nothing
Can't tell me nothing
I love myself

Can′t tell me nothing
Can't tell me nothing
I love myself

Can't tell me nothing
Can′t tell me nothing
I love myself
Can′t tell me nothing
Can't tell me nothing
