Eyes to take you dancing
   mouth to leave your wife
   Legs to run away with
   and you wonder why?
   Heart that makes you bypass
   every other girl
   Smile that keeps you grinning
   at the madness of this world
  
   But like the blackbird on the wire
   I will not take the prey on you
   You wouldn't want me to
   For I am too soft for such a thing
   And like the blackbird on the wire
   I just watch you by
   The tears I knew I'd cry
   Fall unnoticed down below
  
   Front to make you happy
   back to make you weep
   Lips to keep you kissing
   whilst everyone's asleep
  
   Tears to break a backbone
   laughs to win a war
   And people come and ask me
   what I love you for
  
   But like the blackbird on the wire
   I will not take the prey on you
   You wouldn't want me to
   For I am too soft for such a thing
   And like the blackbird on the wire
   I just watch you by
   The tears I knew I'd cry
   Fall unnoticed down below
  
   And with a tongue built from quicksilver
   and a charakter of steel
   They actually come and ask me
   How I feel
  
   But like the blackbird on the wire
   I will not take the prey on you
   You wouldn't want me to
   For I am too soft for such a thing
   And like the blackbird on the wire
   I just watch you by
   The tears I knew I'd cry
   Fall unnoticed down below
