[Intro] (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa) [Verse 1] There's a little bird on my windowsill She sits there like she knows she will Sings in notes I don't understand Like she's playin my heart in her tiny hands (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa) [Verse 2] You laugh it off and say I'm naive But you don't know what I believe I've seen love hide in the strangest places In the quiet curve of a lady’s laces [Chorus] You say love don't fly I say you ain't tried (No, no, no, no) I say love don't stay still It's a bird on a windowsill Beating soft, beating slow Won't be crying when I say no That little bird don't sing for free Every note costs a piece of me Still I listen, I don't pretend I like to break me to work again (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa) [Verse 3] Now it sleeps when I’m awake Stirs at every move I make You say love don’t linger so But it wakes me just to say no [Chorus] You say love don't fly I say you ain't tried (No, no, no, no) I say love don't stay still It's a bird on a windowsill Beating soft, beating slow Won't be crying when I say no That little bird don't sing for free Every note costs a piece of me Still I listen, I don't pretend I like to break me to work again (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa) [Bridge] If I open up and let it go Would it leave or circle slow? (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa) [Chorus] [Chorus] You say love don't fly I say you ain't tried (No, no, no, no) I say love don't stay still It's a bird on a windowsill Beating soft, beating slow Won't be crying when I say no That little bird don't sing for free Every note costs a piece of me Still I listen, I don't pretend I like to break me to work again (Ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa, ba-da-pa)
