Mockingbird Franklin Lyrics

She'd never known acceptance

 She'd never known the word

 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 alot like you

 

 She says her mother is gone now

 She says it never got cured

 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 alot 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

 'cause she's nothing like a mockingbird

 

 Mockingbird franklin

 Don't it get to you

 Mockingbird franklin

 I'm alot like you
