Birds Of A Feather

(albüm: Games People Play - 1969)

I remember back a long time ago
In the days of my childhood
In the evening when the sun's sinking low
Walking in the wildwood

Skipping and flipping through the flowers
We'd go hand-in-hand
Looking back on all the happy hours
Anybody could understand

You and me, babe
Just got to be now
Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together
Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together now, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah

You and I didn't have a lot of friends
Didn't have too much to say
So they never did let us join in
All the games that they used to play

Seems like it was only yesterday
Down at Lincoln Junior High
I remember what the kids used to say
As we'd go strolling by

You and me, now
Sure 'nuff, trying to be now
Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together
Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
Got to be together, now

Time goes rolling by
And they say that you and I
Will go our sep'rate ways
But birds of a feather
Will always be together
Sure 'nuff, now

Your folks didn't want me hanging 'round
Said that I was bad for you
So we'd meet on the other side of town
Down a long, dark avenue

But they can't keep the two of us apart
Long as you really love me
I got a feeling way down in my heart
And that's the way that it's gonna be

You and me, babe
Sure 'nuff got to be, now
Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together
Like birds of a feather

Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together
Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
We should be together
Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

God Almighty
Talking 'bout you and me, oh
And the games people play

Ooh, hoo

Come on, come on, come on

Whoa
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-dee
La-da-da, da-da, da-dee
Talking 'bout you and me, oh
And the games people play
Oh, alright
