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  But don't give up on love
