"Blackbird"
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"
And they called you little sorrow
'Cause you'll never love again
So 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 don't understand dear
Nobody wants you anywhere
So why you wanna fly Blackbird
You ain't ever gonna fly
