The meaning behind this song is a promise to never lead your love astray as a cuckoo bird could. This is a conclusion from knowing a bit about birds and also from the line "I won't be a lesson learned in spring", spring commonly known as being known as a time of new love, and the phrase "a lesson learned" hinting for itself to be a bitter experience
