Lyrics of Blackbird

Blackbird, blackbird, don’t sing to me
Don’t sing below my window
Fly somewhere else, don’t bother me
Don’t sing below my window

You sang when he was in my bed
You sang when my heart sang now
Now you remind me of something I’ll never have
So blackbird, don’t sing
Blackbird, don’t sing

Blackbird, blackbird, I am now alone
Somewhere else go make your home
Don’t nestle here, go find lovers of your own
I am now alone

You sang when he was in my bed
You sang when my heart sang now
Now you remind me of something I’ll never have
So blackbird, don’t sing

Blackbird, don’t sing
Blackbird, don’t sing

You sang when he was in my bed
You sang when my heart sang now
Now you remind me of something I’ll never have
So blackbird, don’t sing

Blackbird, don’t sing
Blackbird, don’t sing
