A little bird told me
late last night
if I hold my breath
and do everything right
you might come back
If I colour 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 a 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 change 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 cross my fingers
and curl my toes
if I look like 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 ba...d
No I... don't want
you that ba...d
Well a little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
