I left you last night on the left coast
  I'm writin' you a letter right now
  The things that you do are rendering you
  Something I can't live without
  
  Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now
  Maybe my heart's on fire
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  Left you last night on the left side
  The land of the free to be burned
  Well the heat of your touch is makin' it such
  That I've forgotten everything I've learned
  
  Maybe maybe I've got a problem
  Maybe my heart's a liar
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  Yeah a bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  And I may be a bird in a cage
  But it least it's your cage
  And I may be a bird in a cage
  But it least it's your cage
  
  Left you last night on the left half
  Of the bed, the half that used to be mine
  The way that you sleep is the image I'll keep
  Always on the edge of my mind
  
  Maybe maybe I've got a reason
  For livin' even though I'm so tired
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  And I may be a bird in a cage
  But it least it's your cage
  And I may be a bird in a cage
  But it least it's your cage
  
  Maybe maybe you are the only
  One my heart's desired
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
  
  A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage
  Is worth a bird on a telephone wire
