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.
It's another sleepless night without you, girl
Things didn't turn out right, time to move on
Every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Long after your tears have dried
I'll be crying overtime
Life just ain't so cold with a lonely heart, oh
But it's so hard to let go of the love I feel for you
For every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Until I get you off my mind
I'll be crying... O-o-o-o-overtime
Every night the tears fall from my eyes
To wash away the loneliness
Until I get you off my mind
I'll be crying
See, and I'm crying
Yes, yes I'm crying, baby, yeah, for you, girl
Can't you see that I, can't you see that I need
I need you woman, I need you girl, oh baby
Come inside with me
Oh, overtime, overtime, overtime
Oh, oh, oh
Make it feel sweet to you, baby
I don't think you heard me at all
Understand, say, oh, understand me, girl
Oh woman, sugar, woman, sugar, girl, oh
Oh oh oh, and no, no, don't go
And I'm crying for you, girl, yeah yeah
No no no, it's you you you, you you got me
You got me crying overtime
Every night, girl, I cry to wash the hurt away
It's so bad, I'll be crying overtime
Every night, girl, I cry to wash the hurt away
It's so bad, I'll be crying overtime
