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
