Birds of a Feather Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Met you in front of a diner and you had blue hair
You were so nice
You were from L.A. but you were all there
You were all right


[Chorus]
So many people say that they have it together
But I think you're a nice guy
And I think we could be birds of a feather

[Verse 2]
Met you in front of a diner and you were so sweet
Made my heart beat, oh, my, my, my, my, my
I met you with your mother and she had green shoes
She was so cool, it was fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You were sorting pictures and you gave me one
Of a nun who was playing the drums
She was crazy, her name was Katie
I think you're so fun

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You don't think I'm that strange, you're so weird
That's cause you're so queer
But who's not these days?
You wear purple socks and you still like Purple Haze

[Chorus - variation]
So many people think that you have it together
But they don't see you crying in the shower
Bet I can make you better
Cause you make me better
Yeah, you make me better
Yeah, you make me better

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
