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
I say: Stay down
Do you want to mess me up?
Do you want to screw up the works?
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
When everybody's asleep
I say, I know you're there
So don't be sad
Then I put him back
But he's singing a little in there
I haven't quite let him die
And we sleep together like that
With our secret pact
And 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 clever
I only let him out at night sometimes
When everybody's asleep
