He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' ev'rybody, sayin'
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
And if that better way ain't so
I, I, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear sayin'
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Everybody have you heard?
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
She's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why I keep on tellin' ev'rybody, sayin' no, no, no, no,no
Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind won't stay
I'm gonna find myself a better way
I might rise above , I might go below
I, I, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ears y'all
No, no, no, no, no, no, now, now, baby
The lyrics to Inez's song Mocking Bird are about a relationship that is on the rocks, and the constant search for stability and happiness. The song starts with the singer hoping to receive a mockingbird, which is traditionally seen as a symbol of happiness and joy. However, if the mockingbird doesn't sing, she will be given a diamond ring instead, with the expectation that the ring will bring her happiness. The song then takes a darker turn, with the singer describing how if the diamond ring doesn't bring her happiness, her heart will be surely broken.
The song then shifts to the male protagonist, who also hopes to find peace of mind. If the peace of mind he is searching for doesn't stay, he will find a better way. The song ends on an ambiguous note with the lyrics "I might rise above, I might go below, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow". These lyrics hint at the possibility of the relationship transitioning to a new phase or perhaps even falling apart.
Overall, the song is a chronicle of the search for happiness in a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics touch on themes like the pressure to find happiness, the reliance on material possessions to bring joy, and the idea of going with the flow, even when it seems impossible to find stability.
