Mockingbirds sing

Sing me what the Lord was singing

On the day He made the water

The color of the blues

Sing me that song

Sing me to till the heavens rising

On the day He made the water

The color of my baby's eyes

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways she wants to be loved

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

But the way I'm loving her

It must not be enough

Cause in the way she cries

It only tears me up

I feel dead inside and dying

And if you give up

Don't give up on love

Don't give up on love

The rivers they run

They run until they get too tired

Until they run behind the houses

And they become a creek

When I was a child

I ran until the creek became a river

When it turned into the ocean

I wondered why He'd made it so deep

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

But the way I'm loving her

Must not be enough

Cause the way she cries

It only tears me up

I feel dead inside and dying

Don't give up

Cause in a way she's crying

It only tears me up

I feel dead inside and dying

Give up

Don't give up on love

Don't give up on love

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Sometimes it ain't enough

Sometimes it ain't enough

But don't give up on love
