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.
Friday night’s your poet
Saturday your wet dream
Sunday wakes you up slowly
To a face that you don’t wanna see
I turned you on
But I left you hungry
And your heart didn’t matter ’til the weekend is gone
Baby you were sure you were getting some
Really didn't matter where the candy came from... oooh
So if the love that you’re chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the outer reach
Well if you break it all down, take a good look around
You’d see
That it's closer than you might believe
Should I take a number?
Should I wait for the day to arrive?
I'll still let you cry on my shoulder babe
But it's not advice I want to give you tonight
But I let you in
But you leave me standing
And you wonder why I can’t relate anymore
Don’t you ever think of what it comes down to?
No one else can figure you the way that I do
And you know I do
So if the love that you’re chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the outer reach
Well if you break it all down, take a good look around
You’d see
That it's closer than you might believe
Slow and easy
I’ll tell ya that’s the way to go
And if you change the way you see me
And you will know when you will know
So if the love that you’re chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the outer reach
Well if you break it all down, take a good look around
You’d see
That it's closer than you might believe
Just turn around and look at me
