I might rise above, I might go below
And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
And if that diamond ring won't shine
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Now, everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody
She's gonna find me some piece of mind
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
And if that piece of mind won't stay
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody
And if that diamond ring won't shine
I'm gonna find myself a better way
Mockingbird, now
Listen now and understand
I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
Hear me now and understand
Yeah if that piece of mind won't stay
Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Everybody have you heard
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing
I'm gonna get myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
And if that mockingbird don't sing
