Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

Too restless to settle too wild to tame

Too restless to settle too wild to tame

Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

No tender young blossom can hold you for long

No tender young blossom can hold you for long

Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

You'd hug me and kiss me like others I've known

You'd promise to love me and call me your own

Then all of my dreams would be shattered apart

By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind

If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind

Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

Some folks like to gamble but darling not I

Some folks like to gamble but darling not I

Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue

Yes, I'd rather spend my whole life without you

Then feather a nest to be shattered apart

By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
