B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
As I walk this line, I am bound by the other side
And it's for my heart that I'll live
'Cause you'll never die
Well if you want to know me, I'm a war
Companion
Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you can do 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather, we stick together
I'm telling you from the start, I won't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you can buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing, I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle-bound man can tear me away from my guy
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
If she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants
If he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
Birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
Birds of a feather
Birds of a feather

Omnia mea mecum porto

A Latin phrase meaning “I carry all my things with me” but “All I have, I carry with me” is the more commonly accepted and elegant of the translations, or occasionally also “All that is mine, I carry with me”.
The quote is attributed by Cicero and Valerius Maximus to Bias of Priene, a 6th century BCE Greek sage; Seneca attributes a similar quote to Stilpon, a late 4th century BCE Greek philosopher. Cicero and Seneca quote the words in a slightly different order, but Latin allows the word order to be mixed up a bit.
Cicero and Valerius tell the story of Bias' hometown being sacked. While everyone else was busy grabbing their belongings and fleeing, he carried nothing; when asked why, he said this line. Seneca tells a nearly identical story about Stilpon. All three authors are certainly quoting the line in translation–they write it in Latin, but they are quoting Greek speakers from several hundred years before them.
