"Hey, Bluebird" lyrics

Hey, bluebird
Whatcha gonna do?
How you gonna get outta this one?
Sure, he sounds fun, but I bet he's gonna run
The second that you ask if it's real
Come back to earth and hear me out
Ooh

Hey, little lemon
Why you gonna let him
Keep you like a partridge in a pear tree?
Hear you crying, love
He's no turtle dove
He never was
Never could be
And nine times outta ten
It's prettier in your head
But pretty's just an adjective

Don't do what I did
Don't go for the guy who keeps you quiet
Don't go getting dressed up for a night in
Or mistake him for an island
Where the grass is always greener
When he's just a bottom feeder in the end

Hey, honey bear
Life's not fair
Someone's gonna leave you when you need him
They'll put you on a plane
To somewhere far away
And that'll be the last time you see 'em

Ninety-nine percent of the time
You're just falling in a dream
And you wake up when you die

Don't do what I did (ooh)
Don't go for the guy who keeps you quiet (ooh)
Don't go getting dressed for a night in (ooh)
Or mistake him for fine wine
When he's just the two buck chuck
Promise he won't give a fuck

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

Looking at you
I see me
It's okay that you miss him
In five years' time
He's nowhere to be seen
And everybody thinks that you killed him

La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da da di da da

La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da da di da da

La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da da di da da
