You fall in love with a wild flower
So you put it in a vase
You pull it out of the dirt and the earth
And the beauty withers away
You fall in love with a firefly
So you keep it in a jar
And you wonder why it don't shine or light up for you anymore

When you gonna learn, boy
When you gonna learn, boy

You can't hold her back
You can't tie her down
She ain't something you can own
'Cause that ain't what love's all about
Got to let her fly
She was born to be free
You got to let that pretty girl spread her wings
You can't hold her back
Can't hold her back, boy

You see, the more you want to cage her
The more she doesn't want to stay
The more you keep a tight grip on her
She's just gonna want to get away
But she'll give you her whole heart if you give her room to breathe
Once you get a taste of that kind of love
That's all you'll ever need

You can't hold her back
You can't tie her down
She ain't something you can own
'Cause that ain't what love's all about
Got to let her fly
She was born to be free
Got to let that pretty girl spread her wings
You can't hold her back
Can't hold her back, boy
Can't hold her back
Can't hold her back, ooh, whoa

You can't hold her back
You can't tie her down
She ain't something you can own
'Cause that ain't what love's all about
Got to let her fly
She was born to be free
You got to let that pretty
You can't tie down that pretty girl
Can't hold back a girl like me
Can't hold her back
Can't hold her back
Got to let her spread her wings
