Little Bird

A little bird told me late last night that if
I hold my breath and do everything right
You might come back
If I color my hair and
I wear it down and
I make you laugh like a circus clown
You might come back
And a little bird said with the wink of an eye if
I beg real hard and
I do not cry
You might come back
If I keep my opinion under my breath and
I only bring it out when the master says
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
But a little bird told me as plain as day if
I changed my name and
I change my way
You might come back
If I sell my soul for the greater cause
If I burn my records and
I listen to yours
You might come back
And a little bird said in the middle of a dream if
I shut my mouth and
I don't make a scene
You might come back
If I crossed my fingers and curl my toes
If I looked liked the other girls
Everybody knows
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
