A little bird told me late last night 
 If I hold my breath and do everything right 
 You might come back 
 If I colour my hair and I wear it down 
 And I make you laugh like a circus clown 
 You might come back 
 And a little bird said with a wink of an eye 
 If I beg real hard and I do not cry 
 You might come back 
 If I keep my opinion under my breath 
 And I only bring it out when the master says 
 You might come back 
    But I don't want you that bad 
 No I don't want you that bad   
 Well a little bird told me as plain as day 
 If I change my name and I change my way 
 You might come back 
 If I sell my soul for the greater cause 
 If I burn my records and I listen to yours 
 You might come back 
 And the little bird said in the middle of a dream 
 If I shut my mouth and I don't make a scene 
 You might come back 
 If I cross my fingers and I curl my toes 
 If I look like the other girls everybody knows 
 You might come back   
 But I don't want you that bad 
 No I don't want you that bad 
 No I don't want you that bad 
 No I don't want you that bad   
 Well a little bird told me 
 A little bird told me 
 A little bird told me 
 A little bird told me   
 A little bird told me 
 A little bird told me 
 A little bird told me 
 A little bird told me
