Birds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, the women in this town have been misused,
Yeah, I seen it all in my dreams last night,
Girls leaving this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired).
All you fellas better change your ways,
Girls are good, you better treat 'em true,
I seen fellas running around with someone new.
Gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired),
Yeah, leavin' here (leavin' here), leavin' here (leavin' here),
I said leavin' here, yeah yeah yeah, don't want to leave all here,
Be a while, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
The love of a women is a wonderful thing (oh yeah),
Yeah, the way you treat 'em is a crying shame (oh yeah),
I tell you, fella, yeah, it won't be long (oh yeah),
Yeah, before these women they all have gone (oh yeah).
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired),
Yeah, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gonna leavin' here, yeah leavin' here,
Yeah, leavin' here, ya gonna leave all here now,
Baby baby baby, please don't leave here.
The lyrics to the song "Leaving Here" by the Birds convey a message to men who mistreat women. The opening lines address the town's men, telling them that the town's women have been misused, and they've witnessed it in their dreams. The chorus emphasizes the women's desire to leave this town since they are not treated right. They can take a train or fly by plane to escape this situation, but it's time to leave. The singer warns men that they better change their ways if they don't want to end up alone. He has seen men running around with other women, which is unacceptable. The love of a woman is a wonderful thing, so men must treat them with respect and not take them for granted. The singer ends the song by pleading with the woman not to leave him.
The song's theme is relevant even today when society is still grappling with gender equality issues. The lyrics' straightforwardness is refreshing, and the melody is perfect for conveying the message. Men are reminded that mistreating women could lose them and that they should treat women with respect.
