Lyrics of Mockingbird by Carly Simon

intro

Mock- (yeah)
-Ing (yeah)
Bird (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)
Mockingbird now

verse

Hey everybody, have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring

verse

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
Saying (yeah, yeah) whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-oh

chorus

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

chorus

And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why (yes, indeed oh) I keep on shoutin' in your ear
Saying (yeah, yeah) whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-oh

verse

Well, now everybody, have you heard?
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird, yeah
And if that mockingbird don't sing
She gonna buy me a diamond ring

verse

And if that diamond ring won't shine
Yes, it surely break this poor heart of mine
And that's the reason why I keep on tellin' everybody
Saying (yeah, yeah) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

chorus

Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some piece of mind, yeah
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna get myself a better way

outro

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 ears, yo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah
Writer(s): Charlie Foxx, Inez Foxx
