Forgive me if I’m scared when I first get to your house
Forgive me if I sit here as quiet as a mouse
Forgive me if I run when you try to give me love
For rough and rugged hands is all that I know of
Give me time and I will start to chirp and be a happy pet
But I may not play with my toys, I just don’t get them yet
I want to stay inside my cage I know I’m safe somehow
And I will still be shy of you, I’m just not ready now
Someday I will trust you and know that you do care
So please be patient for me, soon I shall get there
We will be the best of friends and I will sing for you
So just be calm and patient, and I’ll be patient too
