Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Now I don't mean to bother you
But I'm in distress
There's danger of me losing all of my happiness
Cause I love a boy who doesn't know I exist
And this you can fix

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid, if your arrow makes his love strong for me
I promise I will love him until eternity
I know between the two of us his heart we can steal
Help me if you will

So, Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
Nobody but me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me
For me

Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me

Cupid, don't you hear me?
Cupid
Cupid, I'm calling
Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem

He's got a way about him
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without him
He's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know why it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway

He's got a smile that heals me
I don't know what it is
But I have to laugh when he reveals me
He's got a way of talkin'
I don't know what it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere

He comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
he touches me and I get turned around
He's got a way of showin'
how I make him feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'
He's got a light around him
and everywhere he goes
A million dreams of love surround him everywhere

He comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
he touches me
I get turned around

He's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when he reveals me
He's got a way about him
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without him anyway

I feel like I'm not out of bed yet

Oh, the sun is warm
But my baby's arms are warmer
Sleep, sleep in my baby's arms
Sleep in my baby's arms

I got big red lips
I got big brown eyes
If I treat him right
It's a big surprise
I never do anything that I said I would
I make him feel good
I make him feel good

He says "Come here baby"
I say "No"
He says "Drive me here"
I say "Drive your own"
I like to race his motor then slam his hood

I make him feel good
I make him feel good

When angels look down from above
They see our very special love
How I can make him do what no one could
I make him feel good
I make him feel good

If you're feeling down and blue
and your girlfriend treats you bad too
Honey
Just remember what she's bound to do
She'll make you feel good
She'll make you feel good

I got big red lips
I got big brown eyes
If I treat him right
It's a big surprise
I never do anything that I said I would
I make him feel good
I make him feel good

I make him feel good
If you're feeling down and blue
and your girlfriend treats you bad too
Just remember what she's bound to do
She'll make you feel good
Feel good

I held up pretty well
The first few days I even tried to dying
To get my mind off you

Friends said I look like hell
They said they snapped like that

If they'd been through
What I'd been through
They'd simply fall apart
Well, I am about to start

I never thought I'd break
I thought I could hang on till all the hurt
Had all run out
And I'd be fine
I guess I am not that kind

Not the kind to fall apart
When lovers go away until today
It finally hit me, you're gone
And now I am barely hangin' on

I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice

I've always had the answer
You were my one mistake
Until the day we broke up
I never thought I'd break

I never thought I'd break
I never thought you'd make me miss your face
And make me ache to hear your voice
But now I have no choice

I've always had the answers
You were my one mistake
Until the day I woke up
I thought I'd do what I could judge
Until that day we broke up

I never thought I'd break

Close your eyes
Close the door
You don't have to worry anymore
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

Shut the light
Shut the shade
You don't have to be afraid
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

The mockingbird's going to sail away
We're going to forget it
That big fat moon's gonna shine like a spoon
We're gonna let it
You won't regret it

Kick your shoes off
Do not fear
And bring that bottle over here
Cause I'll be your baby tonight

No one here to guide you
Now you're on your own
Only me beside you
Still you're not alone
No one is alone
Truly
No one is alone

Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood
Others may deceive you
You decide what's good
You decide alone
But no one is alone

People make mistakes
Fathers, mothers
People make mistakes
Holding to their own
Thinking they're alone

Honor their mistakes
Everybody makes
One another's terrible mistakes

Witches can be right
Giants can be good
You decide what's right
You decide what's good
Just remember

Someone is on your side
Someone else is not
While you're seeing our side
Maybe you forgot
They are not alone
No one is alone

Hard to see the light now
Just don't let it go
Things will come out right now
We can make it so
Someone is on your side
No one is alone

Lately I've been running on faith
What else can a poor girl do
But my world would be right
If love comes over you

Lately I've been talking in my sleep
Can't imagine what I'd have to say
Except my world would be right
If love comes back my way

I've always been
one to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who'd care
Care just for me

And we go running on faith
All of our dreams will come true
And our world will be right
if love comes over me and you

I've always been
one to take each and every day
Seems like by now
I'd find a love who'd care
Care just for me

And we go running on faith
All of our dreams will come true
And our world will be right
if love comes over me and you

Love comes over me and you
Love comes over me and you
All of our dreams will come true
Love comes over me and you
Loving, love comes over you
Running
Love comes over you

Where has the time all gone to?
Haven't done half the things I want to
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

Just when the fun was starting,
Comes the time for parting
But let's be glad for what we had
And what's to come

There's so much more embracing
Still to be done, but time is racing
Oh well, we'll catch up some other time

Oh, woman be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man

Don't ever sit around holdin' no conversation
Explainin' what your good man do to you
Cause men are scarce these days
And it ain't no good
To go talking them around in your neighborhood

Gotta be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man
Don't be a fool
Don't advertise your man

Now, your best girlfriend
She may look like a highbrow
But I seen her changing her clothes
At least three times a day
What do you think she's doin' now
While you're so far away?
She's lovin' your man in your own damn bed
Call for the doctor, investigate your head

Gotta be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man

She's lovin' your man in your own damn bed
Call for the doctor, examine your head
Oh, woman be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man

Woman be wise
Keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man
Don't be a fool
Don't advertise your man
