I won’t go out like that 
 When you scream and shout like that 
 I don’t know who you are 
 Yeah I won’t go down like that 
 When you push me around like that 
 This time I won’t fall so hard 

 Cause ain’t nobody can sing like a caged bird 
 Tangled feathers on the floor 
 You clip my wing, but you can’t have the last word 
 Cause you forgot to lock the door 

 When you look at me like that 
 When you beg and plead like that 
 I know this script, I’ve read these lines 
 Then you throw your shoulders back and that starts the second act 
 Frame by frame it all unwinds 

 Cause ain’t nobody can sing like a caged bird 
 Tangled feathers on the floor 
 You clip my wing, but you can’t have the last word 
 Cause you forgot to lock the door 
 Cause you forgot to lock the door 

 Stay away, stay away from me 
 Stay away, stay away, stay away from me 

 Cause ain’t nobody can sing like a caged bird 
 Tangled feathers on the floor 
 You clip my wing, but you can’t have the last word 
 Cause you forgot to lock the door
