Intro
If it wasn’t for the birds
I’d probably still be thinking about you
Pretending you don’t do what you do
Verse
A little birdie came down yesterday and told me
Have you ever heard the kind words taste just like honey
Sweet bud is all that’s held before the body
But that ain’t the only thing the little birdie did tell me
You play with fire and make it burn
And all bugs like you just never learn
So go change those clothes boy, go barken’ up your trees
But don’t you come around here makin’ up to me
Chorus
If it wasn’t for the birds
I’d probably still be thinking about you
Pretending you don’t do what you do
If it wasn’t for the birds
I just might buy that you love me
I’ll be hangin’ onto every word
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh yeah
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh oh yeah
Verse
Yeah I’d like to thank the little angel chirpin’ on my shoulder
Makin’ sure that handsome devil don’t come back and win me over
And by the way boy if you shoot my birdie down
There’s a million of these walkers just flyin’ around
Chorus
If it wasn’t for the birds
I’d probably still be thinking about you
Pretending you don’t do what you do
If it wasn’t for the birds
I just might buy that you love me
I’ll be hangin’ onto every word
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh yeah
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh oh yeah
Bridge
So don’t think ’bout comin’ here no more
Don’t think that you can call me up
‘Cause I’ve been workin’ hard for something good
That doesn’t start with you so you can just save your breath
Save your sorry, save your words
It’s all just for the birds
Chorus
If it wasn’t for the birds
I’d probably still be thinking about you
Pretending you don’t do what you do
If it wasn’t for the birds
I just might buy that you love me
I’ll be hangin’ onto every word
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh yeah
If it wasn’t for the birds, oh oh yeah
If it wasn’t for the birds
Yeah I’ll be hangin’ onto every word
If it wasn’t for the birds
