Mockingbirds 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 to till the heavens rising

On the day He made the water
The color of my baby's eyes
Love her in the ways you want to be loved

Love her in the ways she wants 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
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
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'd made it so deep

Love her 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
Cause the way she cries

It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying
Don't give up

Cause in a way she's crying
It only tears me up
I feel dead inside and dying

Give up
Don't give up on love
Don't give up on love

Love her 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

Sometimes it ain't enough
Sometimes it ain't enough
