Mockingbird lyrics


(Inez & Charlie Foxx with additional lyrics by James
Taylor)

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 won t shine
He s gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that s why I keep on tellin everybody.....

Hear me now and understand
He s gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won t stay
I m gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain t so
I ll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that s why I keep on shoutin in your ear.....

Everybody have you heard
She s gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don t sing
She s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won t shine
Gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that s the reason why I keep on tellin everybody...

Listen now and understand
She s gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won t stay
I m gonna get myself a better way
I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that s the reason why I keep on shouting in your ear...
