Lyrics

A (F)lit tle bird told me late last night, if I hold my breath and do ev ’ry thing right, you (C)might come back.

If I (F)col our my hair and I wear it down, and I make you laugh like a cir cus clown, you (C)might come back.

And a (Gm)lit tle bird said with the wink of an eye, if I beg real hard and I do not cry you (C)might come back.

If I (Gm)keep my o pin ion un der my breath and I on ly bring it out when the mas ter says, you (C)might come back.

But (F)I don’t

(C)want you that bad.

No, (F)I don’t

(C)want you that bad.

A lit tle bird told me.
