lyrics

Little Birdie
What makes you think you can sing?
Is that shrill little noise
Really making all the boys
Think you’re really just the greatest bird around

Little Birdie
What makes you think you can fly?
When you spread your wings up there
Will you stay up in the air?
Or will you crash and burn like all the others think

But they don’t care
They just came here for a show
You are such a pretty bird, but it’s such a petty word
Filled with emptiness and nothing left to share

Little Birdie
What makes you think you can mate?
Do you really think your looks
Put you at the top of books
In the the list of birds desirable to love

Little Birdie
You know you're such a pretty bird
But you think you’re so much more
And that makes you such a bore
Wait till you step out your nest and see the truth

Cause they don’t care
To them you’re just another bird
And though you look as though you’re fine
You are dying deep inside
But no one knows or really cares just how you feel

But I know the truth about you
And I want to try to understand
And there are times when I wish to make you see
But when you say those empty words
Who to the friends of yours it hurts
You make me feel as though it’s all your own design

Cause I don’t care
To me you’re just a fading light
And when that candle gets the snuff
It will finally be enough
And you will leave us all alone and in our peace of mind

And it’s not fair
The others look as though they know
And even though their words are empty
I wish they were directed at me
Cause I get nothing, which is even emptier still
