love brok my heart
and left me alone
left me wonderin in my head
thinkin what I did wrong
momaw asked me what happened to her
and my eye filled up with tears
she looked at me and said
that girls like a mockingbird
lieing with every breath
that girls like a mockingbird
can't trust the truth on her lips
yea that girls like a mockingbird
as pretty as can be
but she's a fork toung devil with a pick fork stinkin right into you
yea the girls like mockingbird
well time moved on
and so did I
I left those words
in the back of my mind
till one day
a friend of mine
came cryin to me
her boyfriend left'er for a one night fling
I said that boys like a mockingbird
liein with every breath
yea the boys like a mockingbird
can't trust the truth off his lips
yea the boys like a mockingbird
as handsome as can be
but he's a fork toung devil with a pitchfork stickin right into you
yea the boys like a mockingbird
it's a thing I've learned
that some folks are like that
it's no excuse
but there's no use
in crying for a guy that couldn't tell the truth
you see
you deserve a whippoorwill
someone whose song's long and true
you deserve a whippoorwill
someone who'll always love you
you deserve a whippoorwill
someone to hold you
not a donkey's hind end and a son of gun to boot
you deserve a whippoorwill
