[Chorus] Baby birdie Mama threw you out the nest Your wing was broken And she ain't got time for that stress [Verse] You're weak birdie And Mama needs to take a rest She works all day and night in the flightless state And baby birdie She can't let you affect [Chorus] Baby birdie Mama threw you out the nest Your wing was broken And she ain't got time for that stress [Verse 2] You're weak birdie And Mama needs to take a rest She works all day and night in the flightless state And baby birdie She can't let you affect [Bridge] None of this was your fault And Mama's just been programmed this way I know it seems like a cold world to be born into But if you could just see I promise it wasn't anything you did As I watched you crawl back into your shell I knew you had great reason to Because then your heart was protected It wouldn't be affected from outside sources [Verse 3] Baby birdie You just wanna live in peace and love And I believe you deserve to But when your heart is that big It can be heavy to carry around
