EELS - Mockingbird Franklin lyrics

rate me

She's never known acceptance

She's never known the world

She says I like to call myself m

But my real name is mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin

So how do you do

Mockingbird franklin

I'm a lot like you

She says her mother is gone now

She says her mother got killed

I said I'm sorry but is it true

Did she really name you mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin

Broke your heart in two

Mockingbird franklin

I'm a lot like you

Mockingbird don't you change

Just because you're not like them

Oh mockingbird you're not the same

Alone along the sidewalk

Her steps are barely heard

It's kinda funny that it's her name

'cus she's nothing like a mockingbird

Nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin

Don't it get to you

Mockingbird franklin

I'm a lot like you

I'm a lot like you

It's true
