[Verse 1]
Mockingbird sing
Sing me what the Lord was singing
On the day He made the water
The color of the blues
Sing me that song
Sing me till the heaven's rising
On the day He made the water
The color of my baby's eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Love her in the way you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
It must not be enough

[Chorus]
'Cause in the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
And if you give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love

[Verse 2]
The rivers they run
They run until they get too tired
Until they run behind the houses
And they become a creek
When I was a child
I ran until the creek became a river
When it turned into the ocean
I wondered why He made it so deep
[Pre-Chorus]
Love 'em in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
Love her in the ways you want to be loved
But the way I'm loving her
Must not be enough

[Chorus]
'Cause the way she cries
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Won't be enough
'Cause in a way that she's crying
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
And if you give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love

[Outro]
Love her in the ways that you want to be loved
Love her in the ways that you want to be loved
Love her in the ways that you want to be loved
Sometimes it ain't enough
Sometimes it ain't enough
But don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love
