Lyrics
You should have listened to Al
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She said "Don't you think we're going downhill?
And I would hate it to be run-of-the mill
"Oh love me or leave me but please don't deceive me
For if you do, I'll know, believe me
I want you to know I don't want you to go anyway
And yes I was doing alright up until now
I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al
She picked up her things and said "let's be friends
For all the good and the bad things have their ends"
Then she went lazily leaving me crazily
Wandering lost, the night was hazy
And everyone else looking sure of themselves but not me
And yes I was doing alright up until now
I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al
Oh she left me the keys and a dozen LPs
A phone bill warning left for the morning
And I left the dark on a seat in the park feeling very strange
And yes I was doing alright up until now
I'm beginning to think you should have listened to Al
You should have listened to Al
Oh, you should have listened to Al
