Blackbird lyrics

[2x]

Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

No place big enough for holding

All the tears you're gonna cry

Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"

And your daddy's name was "Pain"

And they call you "Little Sorrow"

Cause you'll never love again

So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold you

You ain't got no one to care

If you'd only understand, dear

Nobody wants you anywhere

So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold you

You ain't got no one to care

So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?

You ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't ever gonna fly
