Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
[Verse 2]
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 called you Little Sorrow
'Cause you'll never love again
[Verse 3]
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
[Verse 6]
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 going to fly
