SOMETIMES LIKE BUTTERFLIES
(Summer/Roberts, 1982)

(B-side of the single "Love Is iI Control (Finger On The Trigger)", 1982)

Well, I told ya not to fall in love
I ain't the kind you can tie down
You went did it anyway
As though I'd done ya harm
And each time I went reaching out
That's when you let go
Now don't try and pretend
That you didn't know

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I've got to be free

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are made to fly
I've got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies

Oh, yeah
Ooh, don't hold me, no, no

Well, I told ya right from the beginning
I couldn't stay for love
I had to go
Now it's not because in my heart
Baby, I don't love you
It's just because I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on, baby, set me free
I've got to be free

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Butterflies are made to fly
I've got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies

Oh, don't hold me
Don't hold me
No, no

'Cause it's not because in my heart
Baby, I don't love you
It's only that I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be free

If you wanna hold me
If you wanna love me
Come on now and set me free
I've got to be free

If you wanna love me
If you wanna hold me
Come on now and set me free
I've got to be free
Sometimes like butterflies


A VECES COMO LAS MARIPOSAS
(Summer/Roberts, 1982)

(Cara B del single "Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)", 1982)

Bien, ya te dije que no te enamoraras
Que no soy de la clase que se puede atar
Fuiste y lo hiciste aún así
Aunque yo te hiciera daño
Y cada vez que yo salía 
Era cuando tú lo dejabas
Ahora no intentes fingir
Que no lo sabías

Si quieres amarme
Si quieres retenerme
Venga, cariño, déjame libre
Tengo que ser libre

Si quieres amarme
Si quieres retenerme
Las mariposas están hechas para volar
Tengo que ser libre
A veces como las mariposas

Oh, sí
Ooh, no me retengas, no, no

Bien, ya te dije desde el mismo principio
Que no podía quedarme por amor
Tenía que marcharme
Y no es porque en mi corazón
Cariño, no te quiera
Es tan sólo porque estoy hecha
Estoy hecha para ser libre

Si quieres amarme
Si quieres retenerme
Venga, cariño, déjame libre
Tengo que ser libre

Si quieres amarme
Si quieres retenerme
Las mariposas están hechas para volar
Tengo que ser libre
A veces como las mariposas

Oh, no me retengas
No me retengas
No, no

Porque no es porque en mi corazón
Cariño, no te quiera
Es tan sólo porque estoy hecha
Estoy hecha para ser libre

Si quieres retenerme
Si quieres amarme
Venga ya y déjame libre
Tengo que ser libre

Si quieres amarme
Si quieres retenerme
Venga ya y déjame libre
Tengo que ser libre
A veces como las mariposas
