Martha Reeves & The Vandellas Mockingbird Lyrics

Mock (Yeah)
Ing (Yeah)
Bird (Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah)
Mockin'bird, mockin'bird

Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing, yeah
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond don't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I can't tell him, that's why I sing
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
I know that I-I-I know
But I can't let him know
That I-I-I love him
And he said he's got to go
But if I let him know
I'm gonna make him just make him love
And that's why I can't tell him, that's why I sing
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh I know that I-I-I know
He knows that I care
And I-I-I know
That he knows he's no square
But the closer he gets, I find it's hard to say no
And that's why I can't tell him, that's why I sing
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

I know, hey everybody, you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Woah, if that mockingbird don't sing, yeah
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond don't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I can't tell him, that's why I sing
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Hey, hey, everybody, have you heard?
