Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name 
(Hummingbird should be your name) 
Too restless to settle too wild to tame 
(Too restless to wild to tame) 
Too restless to settle too wild to tame 
Hummingbird, hummingbird should be your name 

 Hummingbird, hummingbird winging along 
(Hummingbird winging along) 
No tender young blossom can hold you for long 
(No 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 
(Hummingbird feathered so fine) 
If I clipped your wings it would not make you mind 
(I know it would not make you mine) 
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 

 Hummingbird heart
