NEVER LOVE A ROBIN
(Mickey Gentile / Artie Resnick)


Bobby Vee - 1963



Her love was like a bird up in the sky
When it got cold, I watched her fly
Now tears are fallin' since she's gone away
So please believe me when you hear me say

Never love a robin 'cause she'll fly away
Though she says she loves you, she can't stay
First sign of Winter, she'll say goodbye
And while she's flyin', you'll be cryin' just like me

Oh, never love a robin, she can't change her ways
And your love is numbered by the days
When Autumn leaves start fallin', she'll want to fly
And you can't tame her, so don't you blame her
When she says goodbye

Never love a robin
Aah, never love a robin

When Autumn leaves start fallin', she'll want to fly
And you can't tame her, so don't you blame her
When she says goodbye
