Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life.

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.

All your life.

You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird, fly.

Blackbird, fly into the light of a dark, black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life.

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird, fly.

Blackbird, fly into the light of a dark, black night.

There's a fog up on L.A.,

And my friends have lost their way!

We'll be over soon they said,

Now they've lost themselves instead.

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long

Or I may be asleep.

Well it only goes to show,

And I told them where to go.

Ask a p'liceman on the street,

There's so many there to meet.

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long

Or I may be asleep.

Now it's past my bed I know,

And I'd really like to go,

Soon will be the break of day,

Sitting here in Blue Jay Way.

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long

Or I may be asleep.

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't be long,

Please, don't you be very long,

Please, don't be long.

Don't be long,

Don't be long,

Don't be long.

Can't buy me love, love,

Can't buy me love.

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend,

If it makes you feel alright,

I'll get you anything my friend,

If it makes you feel alright,

For I don't care too much for money,

For money can't buy me love.

I'll give you all I've got to give,

If you say you love me too,

I may not have a lot to give,

But what I've got I'll give to you,

For I don't care too much for money,

For money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, ev'rybody tells me so,

Can't buy me love, no, no, no, no.

Say you don't need no diamond ring,

And I'll be satisfied,

Tell me that you want those kind of things,

That money just can't buy,

For I don't care too much for money,

For money can't buy me love.

Can't buy me love, love,

Can't buy me love.

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.

I never give you my pillow,

I only send you my invitations.

And in the middle of the celebrations, I break down.

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight, carry that weight a long time.
