Little Birdie Told Me

Oh, Little Birdie told me, if I'm good I'll find a friend
Whether I can see or not, there'll be room and time for that
Oh, perfect like a friend that's coming from my deepest dreams
Oh, I'll lie inside my bed and wait for them to shake my sleep

Cause I know myself, I won't sleep as well as when I was a child
You roll my arms around me and you say
Oh, I love you, can not stay with you
Cause I tell myself if I behave I'll get whatever I'm aspiring to
You roll your eyes, you come and say
Oh, I love you, I don't know what to do

Oh, Little Birdie told me I just have to believe more
In myself and all the people I step on and try to talk
Oh, Little Birdie warned me "if you cry things won't get dry
Let yourself embrace your weakness, take a sword and kill the night"

Cause I know myself, I don't know how to talk if you don't talk to me first
You wrap your arms around my waist and lift me up
Oh, I love you, I'm not meant for you
Cause you know that it takes my time, leaves me holding on for dear life
And you know that I'm weak tonight, and it might take some time for me to smile

Oh, Little Birdie told me, if I'm good I'll find a friend
Whether I can see or not, there'll be room and time for that
Oh, perfect like a friend that's coming from my deepest dreams
Oh, I'll lie inside my bed and wait for them to shake my sleep
