 Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name
 Too restless to settle too wild to tame
 Too restless to settle too wild to tame
 Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

 Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along
 No tender young blossom can hold you for long
 No tender young blossom can hold you for long
 Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

 You'd hug me and kiss me like others I've known
 You'd promise to love me and call me your own
 Then all of my dreams would be shattered apart
 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine
 If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind
 If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind
 Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by
 Some folks like to gamble but darling not I
 Some folks like to gamble but darling not I
 Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

 I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue
 Yes, I'd rather spend my whole life without you
 Then feather a nest to be shattered apart
 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
