Hippie Girl Lyrics

Once upon a time ago

Was a girl who you don't know

A hippie girl who lived carefree

Unlike anyone was she

I'd never seen someone so fair

Her eyes like gems—oh so rare

One sea green the other blue

A robin's egg whose bird had flew

Up in the clouds where she goes

I tried to make a home for she and me

But she didn't really want to be

Locked up like a bird in a cage

I guess it really wasn't meant to be

A fairy tale for she and me

I loved you hippie girl

She wore flowers in hair

And danced around me on the air

Patchouli scent left in her wake

Was almost more than I could take

I tried to catch her in my net

What happened next I can't forget

She spun me around and upside down

And left me breathless on the ground

Up in the clouds where she goes

I tried to make a home for she and me

But she didn't really want to be

Locked up like a bird in a cage

I guess it really wasn't meant to be

A fairy tale for she and me

I loved that hippie girl

Precious things should not be kept, son

Against their will—there's no exceptions

If you love something, you must respect them

And set them free … Let them fly

Let them fly

I had to let you go!

Felt like the end of the world

Yeah, I set you free

Wasn't meant to be, hippie girl

Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl

Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl! Oh my hippie girl
