 Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

 Too restless to settle too wild to tame

 Too restless to settle too wild to tame

 Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name

 

 Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

 No tender young blossom can hold you for long

 No tender young blossom can hold you for long

 Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along

 

 You'd hug me and kiss me like others I've known

 You'd promise to love me and call me your own

 Then all of my dreams would be shattered apart

 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

 

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

 If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind

 If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, feathered so fine

 

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

 Some folks like to gamble but darling not I

 Some folks like to gamble but darling not I

 Hummingbird, hummingbird, fly right on by

 

 I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be blue

 Yes, I'd rather spend my whole life without you

 Then feather a nest to be shattered apart

 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart

 By the hum hum of your hummingbird heart
