Joe
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.
What am I to do?
I been all around this world
Looking for someone like you
Oh, Joe
You know I always roam
But I still ain't got what I want
Here
I'm here, and I'm there
I get around, joe
But I ain't going nowhere
Oh, Lord
Why do you choose to keep me so alone
When I still ain't got what I want?
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want!
No, I still haven't got what I want
If I ain't got you
Now
They wanna put me on an airplane
Tell me I'm flying off to someplace
That I ain't never been
See, Joe
Well, see, he always kept me going
But I still ain't got what I want
Now Joe
God's given me so many things
He's fulfilled my many wishes
And I have achieved my many dreams
But oh, see Joe
See he's the only thing I want!
But I ain't gonna get what I want!
No, I still ain't got what I want
No, I still ain't got what I want!
Oh no, I still ain't got what I want
If I ain't got you
