"Mockingbird" lyrics
(originally by Inez And Charlie Foxx)
Mock- (Yeah)
Ing- (Yeah)
Bird- (Yeah)
Yeah- (Yeah)
Mockingbird
Everybody have you heard (Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird (He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing (If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring (He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine (If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly (Yeah, yeah)
Whoa I, know, I know I do what I can to let him know (Everybody have you heard, he's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
That I, I love him and he's got, he's got to go (If that mockingbird don't sing, he's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
But, if I must go, he's got to take, a mistaken love (If that diamond ring don't shine, sure will break this heart of mine)
That's why, I can't tell you that's exactly, whoa, whoa, whoa...
I know, is I, I know that he knows that I care
And I, I know that he knows, he starts crying
Cause if that bird don't sing and ring don't shine
He's so sad, that's why, I can't tell you that exactly, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I'm gonna ride with the tide and go go go
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear sayin', whoa, whoa, whoa...
Everybody have you heard (Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird (He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
And if that mockingbird don't sing (If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring (He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine (If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly...
Ing- (Yeah)
Bird- (Yeah)
Yeah- (Yeah)
Mockingbird
Everybody have you heard (Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird (He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing (If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring (He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine (If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly (Yeah, yeah)
Whoa I, know, I know I do what I can to let him know (Everybody have you heard, he's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
That I, I love him and he's got, he's got to go (If that mockingbird don't sing, he's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
But, if I must go, he's got to take, a mistaken love (If that diamond ring don't shine, sure will break this heart of mine)
That's why, I can't tell you that's exactly, whoa, whoa, whoa...

And if that diamond ring don't shine (If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly...
