Lyrics Nina Simone – Blackbird
Text:
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»
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
