Mockingbird Franklin

She'd never known acceptance

She'd never known the word

She says "i like to call myself m

But my real name is mockingbird"

Mockingbird franklin

So how do you do

Mockingbird franklin

I'm alot like you

She says her mother is gone now

She says it never got cured

I said, "i'm sorry but is it true

Did she really name you mockingbird?"

Mockingbird franklin

Broke your heart in two

Mockingbird franklin

I'm alot like you

Mockingbird

Don't you change

Just because you're not like them

Oh mockingbird

You're not the same

Alone along the sidewalk

Her steps are barely heard

It's kinda funny that it's her name

'cause she's nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin

Don't it get to you

Mockingbird franklin

I'm alot like you
