There you go again the truth begins to bend Like a fool I hang on every word You promise me the moon and then you change your tune You must be a mockingbird A mockinbird's voice sounds so sweet but he'll say anything Oh he'll sit outside your window and sing to you all day Oh I want you all my darlin but with me it'd be my luck Try to hold him he flies away Last night I sat at home waiting by the phone Left the porch light burning all night long But I never heard a sound he's somewhere way 'cross town Someone else was listening to your song Mockinbird's voice sounds so sweet but he'll say anything He'll sit outside your window and sing to you all day Oh I want you all my darlin but with me it'd be my luck Try to hold him he flies away You're just an imitation of someone who really falls in love When you say forever what you really mean is never I want you all my darling but with me it'd be my lick Try to hold him he flies away Try to hold him he flies away
