"Mockingbird Franklin" lyrics

"Mockingbird Franklin"

She's never known acceptance
She's never known the word
She says I like to call myself M
But my real name is mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you

She says her mother is gone now
She says her mother got killed
I said I'm sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you

Mockingbird don't you change
Just because you're not like them
Oh mockingbird you're not the same
Alone along the sidewalk

Her steps are barely heard
It's kinda funny that it's her name
'Cause she's nothing like a mockingbird
Nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird Franklin
Don't it get to you
Mockingbird Franklin
I'm a lot like you
I'm a lot like you
It's true
