[Intro]
'Cause it's a chanteuse, dahling, I'm a chanteuse
I'm on the stage
Gotta feel it
I'm on the piano, you know how good this feels?
When I was little, I would be in lingerie on the piano
At like, 13
Appropriate? Not really
But it's me, and I can't help it

[Verse 1]
Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

[Verse 2]
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when wе kiss

[Chorus]
And there's a weepy old willow
He rеally knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say farewell and goodbye

[Verse 3]
Ooh, lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

[Chorus]
And there's a weepy old willow
And he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say
Fare thee well and goodbye

[Verse 3]
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we'll go
Flyin' high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

[Outro]
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
In love
I'm so in love with you, boy
All because we're in love
And all because
I can't live without you
I won't live without you
I'm making up something
But that don't mean nothin' 'cause it's
In love

[Spoken Outro]
He said let me grab that
Before it becomes a tangent

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
