Nina Simone - Blackbird lyrics

Herbert Sacker, Nina Simone

Why you wanna fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly

No place bif enough for holding all the tears you're gonna cry

Cos your mama's name was lonely and your daddy's name was pain

And they call you little sorrow cos you'll never love again

So why you wanna fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly

You ani't got no one to hold you you ain't got no one to care

If you'd only understand dear nobody wants you anywhere

So why you wanna fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
