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

Chorus:
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

Chorus
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
