Lyrics for Butterfly McQueen

I've finally broke your cool! Leave my things just where they are I didn't think it would go this far Makes no sense no sense at all That's why this bird must fly away Finally broke the rule! Butterfly you made me say I'd never leave but I can't stay I'd never hurt you willingly But it's time this bird must fly away Bird must fly today Butterfly away (Butterfly speaks) What am I supposed to do now that Love's gone away, take my life, take My air, release me from this Body, I'll go anywhere! I feel you rising butterfly mcqueen
