Steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge Day 6/60 - Mockingbird Inez and Charlie Foxx

Inez & Charlie Foxx:Mockingbird Lyrics

Mockingbird, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Mockingbird, now

Everybody have you heard
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring won't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way

And if that better way ain't so
I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Now, everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring won't shine
Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some piece of mind
Yeah if that piece of mind won't stay
I'm gonna get myself a better way

I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now, baby

My Reflection

I used to sing this song to @bxlphabet when he was a baby. I’m sure he thinks I wrote it to this day.

This song was a hit in the James Taylor - Carly Simon version when I was a teenager and I guess it has always been a part of my life.

The line that most resonates with me is and always has been:

Ride with the tide and go with the flow

I always loved the symbolism of that thought and it is how I try to live each day.

My post today is for Day 6/60 of the @steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge. In it you post the lyrics from your best song (in words or pictures) for the day and reflect on it using a few words (100 max).

Would you believe this woman suffers from severe stagefright? This is one of very few live performances of any of her work.

It is that time of year when the fitness equipment is out and the diet books are being read. I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods, and you can too!
