There's a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out
But I'm too tough for him I say
Stay in there, I'm not going
To let anybody see you
There's a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out
But I pour whisky on him and inhale
Cigarette smoke and
The whores and the bartender an the grocery clerks
Never know that he's in there
Then I put him back
And he's singing a little in there
I haven't quite let him die
And we sleep together
Like that with my secret pact
It's nice enough to make a man
Weep, but I don't weep
Do you?
There's a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out
But I'm too tough for him I say
Stay down, do you want to mess me up?
You wanna screw up the works
You wanna blow my book sales in Europe
There's a bluebird in my heart
That wants to get out
But I'm too clever I only
Let him out at night sometimes in there
When everybody is asleep I say I know that you're there
So don't be sad
Then I put him back
And he's singing a little in there
I haven't quite let him die
And we sleep together
Like that with my secret pact
It's nice enough to make a man
Weep, but I don't weep
Do you?
