Aretha Franklin — Mockingbird lyrics

Lyrics

Everybody have you heard
He’s gonna buy me a mocking bird
Well now you said mockingbird don’t sing
He’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
He’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that’s why I keep on tellin' it Say a thing, oh oh oh
I, I know I love him and I can’t tell him so That I, I, I, I love him and it’s true he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know
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' it Say a thing, oh oh oh
Everybody have you heard
He’s gonna buy me a mocking bird
Well now you said mockingbird don’t sing
He’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
He’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that’s why I keep on tellin' it Say a thing, oh oh oh
I, I know that I felt I love him and I can’t tell him so That I, I, I, I love him and it’s true he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
He’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that’s why I keep on tellin' it Say a thing, oh oh oh I Everybody have you heard
He’s gonna buy me a mocking bird
Well now you said mockingbird don’t sing
He’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
He’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that’s why I keep on tellin' it Say a thing, oh oh oh
