She’s never known acceptance
  She’s never known the world
  She says I like to call myself m
  But my real name is mockingbird
  
  Mockingbird franklin
  So how do you do
  Mockingbird franklin
  I’m a lot like you
  
  She says her mother is gone now
  She says her mother got killed
  I said I’m sorry but is it true
  Did she really name you mockingbird
  
  Mockingbird franklin
  Broke your heart in two
  Mockingbird franklin
  I’m a lot like you
  
  Mockingbird don’t you change
  Just because you’re not like them
  Oh mockingbird you’re not the same
  
  Alone along the sidewalk
  Her steps are barely heard
  It’s kinda funny that it’s her name
  ’cus she’s nothing like a mockingbird
  Nothing like a mockingbird
  
  Mockingbird franklin
  Don’t it get to you
  Mockingbird franklin
  I’m a lot like you
  I’m a lot like you
  It’s true
