There goes that damn bird on my fencepost She cries, she cries, "do you know, do you know?" Well yeah, it's apparent she's gone and there she'll stay No phone call or a sign Of a note, of a note She looked at me so seriously I could've sworn that love was in her eyes But now she's gone and I'm singing this song To a lonely random bird on the wire She always was the type who thought love was a chore No matter what she had, she wanted more, she wanted more And even as I breathed her in and felt her skin so tight I never seemed to fit her right And she found the door, she found the door She looked at me so seriously I could've sworn that love was in her eyes But now she's gone and I'm singing this song To a lonely random bird on the wire Don't ask me what it is about the girls who play hard to get She swore eternally that she loved me I never want to counter that She looked at me so seriously I could've sworn that love was in her eyes But now she's gone and I'm singing this song To a lonely random bird on the wire
