If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d probably still be thinking about you

Pretending you don’t do what you do

A little birdie came down yesterday and told me

Have you ever heard that kind words taste just like honey

Sweet for the soul and healthy for the body

But that ain’t the only thing that little birdie did tell me

You play with fire you might get burned

And old dogs like you just never learn

So go chase your squirrels boy go barking up your trees

But don’t you come around here making eyes at me

If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d probably still be thinking about you

Pretending you don’t do what you do

If it wasn’t for the birds

I just might buy that you love me

I’d be hanging on your every word

If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d like to thank that little angel chirping on my shoulder

Making sure that handsome devil don’t come back and win me over

And by the way boy if you shoot my birdie down

There’s a million others like her just flying around

If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d probably still be thinking about you

Pretending you don’t do what you do

If it wasn’t for the birds

I just might buy that you love me

I’d be hanging on your every word

If it wasn’t for the birds

So don’t think ‘bout coming here no more

Don’t think that you can call me up

‘Cause I’ve been working hard for something good that doesn’t start with you

So you can just save your breath, save your sorries, save your words it’s all just for the birds

If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d probably still be thinking about you

Pretending you don’t do what you do

If it wasn’t for the birds

I just might buy that you love me

I’d be hanging on your every word

If it wasn’t for the birds

I’d be hanging on your every word

If it wasn’t for the birds
