I was listening to this song again today. At first I believed it to be about the transition from a soon-to-be father to actual parenthood. How wrong was I?

Then I noticed all the caged bird references and part of the mocking bird lullaby.

If you don't perform for me, then I won't show you any love.

I knew I disliked that song for a reason.
