Little Birdy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you waiting for, baby
Take me under
Take me underwater
Take me out
Take me far from here babe
Take me out
So come on let's go out tonight
Let's follow all the trends
You can keep yourself so far away
But somehow get sucked in
I'm tired
(Chorus)
But if I am tuned to the music
I won't follow you
But if I am tuned to the music
I won't follow anyone
Take this wound and heal it
On and on
Take it whole and feel it
On and on
Take me under
I can help you out with loneliness
I can help you out with loneliness
(Chorus)
But if you want me I can help you out
But if you want me let's go shoot some stars
I'm hoping I'll see you around
Hope I'll see you around
Hope I'll see you around
Hope I'll see you around
Hope I'll see you around
(Chorus)

What you waiting for
Why are you hesitating?
What you waiting for, baby
Why are you hesitating, my love?
Take me underwater
Let's dive deep into something new
Take me out
Let's leave this place behind
Take me far from here babe
Let's escape together
So come on let's go out tonight
Let's go out and explore
Let's follow all the trends
Let's try everything we can
You can keep yourself so far away
You can try to stay distant
But somehow get sucked in
But eventually get pulled in anyways
I'm tired
I'm exhausted from trying to keep up
But if I am tuned to the music
But if I focus on what really matters
I won't follow you
I won't be swayed by your influence
But if I am tuned to the music
But if I stay true to my passion
I won't follow anyone
I won't let anyone else's desires for me control my life
Take this wound and heal it
Help me mend my pain
On and on
Continuously
Take it whole and feel it
Experience every bit of it
I can help you out with loneliness
I can be there for you when you feel alone
But if you want me I can help you out
But only if you truly want me to
But if you want me let's go shoot some stars
But if we're going to do this, let's do it big
Hope I'll see you around
Hopefully we'll run into each other again

Lyrics:
Little birdie, why do you fly upside-down?
It's amazing at the way you get around
Little birdie, why you worry like you do?
Don't you worry, you just do what you can do
Little birdie, things just fascinate you so
And your friend there likes to show you what he knows
Little birdie, he don't mind the way he should
He needs watching, that's when you know he'll be good
Little birdie, can't your friend do nothin' right?
It just seems now all he wants to do is fight
Little birdie, look at what he's trying to do
It's so easy, yet he don't know what to do
