The Raiders - Birds Of A Feather lyrics

Birds Of A Feather
The Raiders
(J South)

- From the LP "Indian Reservation" by The Raiders

I remember back a long time ago,
in the days of my childhood
In the evening when the sun was sinking low,
walking in the wildwood
Skippin' and flippin' through the flowers,
we'd go hand in hand
Looking back on all the happy hours,
anyone could understand,

(chorus)
you and me, babe
Sure 'nuff got to be, babe,
birds of a feather
We should be together
like birds of a feather
Got to be together
like birds of a feather

You and I didn't have a lot of friends,
didn't have too much to say
So they never would let us join in,
all the games they used to play
Seems like it was only yesterday,
down at Lincoln Junior High
I remember what the kids used to say,
as we'd go strolling by,

(chorus)

Time goes rolling by
They say that you and I must go our separate ways
But birds of a feather will always be together

Your folks didn't want me hanging 'round
Said that I was bad for you
So we'd meet on the other side of town,
down a long dark avenue
But they can't keep the two of us apart,
as long as you really love me,
I got a feeling way down in my heart,
that's the way it's gonna be,

(chorus)
