Butterfly
by Bob Malone

She’s too beautiful to be approachable
She’s cynical, thinks love is negotiable
So the good men watch, paralyzed with fear
While another loser breaks her heart and disappears

He’ll put her on display
But he won’t ever let her fly away

She’s a butterfly...on a pin
No price too high for such a perfect specimen
Butterfly, can’t spread her wings
Although she’s tried again and again
They just pull her right out of the sky
Butterfly...

She gets obsession confused with devotion
Loves the shiny fools gold of counterfeit emotion
But no man is himself when he’s under her spell
Well it might be love, but it’s so hard to tell

And she gets everything she wants laid at her feet
But nothing she needs

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Don’t you know you can fly away
Well it don’t have to be this way
Don’t you know you can fly away
Fly away...

CHORUS
