Intro:

A little bird told me late last night that

if I hold my breath and do everything right

You might come back

If I color my hair and I wear it down

and I make you laugh like a circus clown

You might come back

And a little bird said with the wink of an eye

if I beg real hard and I do not cry

You might come back

If I keep my opinion under my breath

and I only bring it out when the master says

You might come back

No I don't want you that bad

Well a little bird told me as plain as day

if I changed my name and I change my way

You might come back

If I sell my soul for the greater cause

If I burn my records and I listen to yours

You might come back

And a little bird said in the middle of a dream

if I shut my mouth and I don't make a scene

You might come back

If I crossed my fingers and curl my toes

If I looked liked the other girls everybody knows

You might come back
