Carly Simon - MOCKINGBIRD lyrics

ing (yeah)

bird (yeah)

yeah (yeah)

Mockin'bird, now

Everybody have you heard

He's gonna buy me a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird don't sing

He's gonna buy me a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring won't shine

He's gonna surely break this heart of mine

And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody

Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Hear me now and understand

He's gonna find me some piece of mind

And if that piece of mind won't stay

I'm gonna find myself a better way

And if that better way ain't so

I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow

And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear

Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Now, everybody have you heard

She's gonna buy me a mockingbird

Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing

She's gonna buy me a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring won't shine

Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine

And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody

Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Listen now and understand

She's gonna find me some piece of mind

Yeah if that piece of mind won't stay

I'm gonna get myself a better way

I might rise above, I might go below

Ride with the tide and go with the flow

And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now. baby
