Mockin'bird, now

Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay

Ride with the ride and go with the flow
And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear…

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now. Baby

[No lyrics]

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by

I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
And walk on by
And walk by
(Don't stop)

Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk on by
(Don't stop)
And walk by
(Don't stop)

Yes, it's love, so much love
You are the one

I can't admit that I was wrong
Took you for granted now I'm all alone
It was so silly all the things we say
And all the words of pain runnin' through my head

If I had the chance I'd let you know
I'll tell you that I never want you to go
These tears I cry won't let me rest
Till you return

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts

It hurts, oh baby, you know you hurt me

I can't believe that you would leave me
I always thought you would stand by me
The thought of you in another arms
Is very slowly tearing me apart

What can I do to make you see?
Everything you need is here with me
I really miss the things that we used to build
And don't you miss the way I used to love you?

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts

You used to kiss me
You used to hold me
You used to love me
You used to touch me

All night long you made everything alright
But now you're gone and I'm all alone
Things have stayed the same
And all I'm really tryin' to say, I'm the one to blame

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't cry for you
There's not one day that goes by
That I'm not singing the blues

There's not one day that goes by
That I don't wish it could work
And it's tearing me up inside
Every little bit hurts

Does he love me?
I wanna know!
How can I tell if he loves me so?

(Is it in his eyes?)
Oh no! You'll be deceived!
(Is it in his size?)
Oh no! He'll make believe!
If you wanna know,
If he loves you so,
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)

(Oh yeah! Or is it in his face?)
No girls! It's just his charms!
(In his warm embrace?)
No girls! That's just his arms!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Yeah! It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)

Oh, oh, oh, hold him,
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
Promise love, and if it really is,
Well, it's there in his kiss!

(How 'bout the way he acts?)
No no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I say!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah! It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)

(MUSIC BREAK)

Oh, oh, oh, hold him,
Squeeze him tight!
Find out what you wanna know!
Promise love, and if it really is,
Well, It's there in his kiss!

(How 'bout the way he acts?)
No no no! That's not the way!
You're not listenin' to all I say!
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Oh, yeah! It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is!)
Mmmm! It's in his kiss!
(That's where it is)
Mmmm it's in his kiss

If you should loo-oo-se me,
Oh, yeah, you'll lose a good thing.
If you should loo-oo-se me,
Oh, yeah, you'll lose a good thing.

You know I love you,
Do anything for you.
Just don't mistreat me,
An I'll be good to you.
'Cause if you should loo-oo-se me,
Oh, yeah, you'll lose a good thing.

I'm givin' you one more chance,
For you to do right.
If you'll only straighen up,
We'll have a good life.
'Cause if you should loo-oo-se me,
Oh, yeah, you'll lose a good thing.

This is my last time,
Not asking any more.
If you don't do right,
I'm gonna march outta that door.
And if you don't be-lee-eeve me,
Just try it, daddy,
An you'll lose a good thing.

Just try it, daddy,
An you'll lose a good thing.

Just try it, daddy,
An you'll lose a good thing.

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
When I tell him that I'm through
Yes, I'm through with him
'Cause he's been running round
And I got to, to put him down
I can't wait to see the look
The look in his eyes

I wonder if he'll cry
When I tell him this is goodbye, yes it is
Or will he try to change my mind
And make me stay? yeah

Or will he turn around
And, with a smile on his face

Just walk away?
Just walk away

I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
Gotta find out what I mean
What I mean to him
'Cause just one tear is all he's got to, to shed for me
And I know that l will run, yes I'll run to him
I'll hold him tight
Never, never let him go, no-o-o

And I can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my baby's, baby's face
You know, I just can't wait until I see my, my baby's face
I can't wait until I

Sure you haven't got the wrong number
You sure its me you wanna talk to tonight?
Everyone in town's got your number
Everybody's got you pegged right

Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

When you went and left me there crying
Your goodbye was even colder than ice
It didn't bother you I was crying
And now you wanna break my heart twice

Is that why you got in touch with me?
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Guess you got back (guess you got)
To my name
In your little black book

Well, listen
Tell you what (tell you what)
Bet you forgot (you forgot)
How I even look

So go ahead with all your sweet talking
Go ahead for all the good it can do
Have yourself a dime's worth of talking
And then I'm gonna hang right up on you

'Cause this time, you're not
You're not getting through to me
I guess you must be runnin' out of fools

Even fools like me
Even fools like me
I said you're running out of fools
Even old fools like me
