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 character 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
