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.
Love
Love will come find you
Just to remind you
Of who you are
Oh love
It will forsake you
Threaten to break you
Take what you got
Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it can hurt you, baby
But give it a little try
See, that's the thing about love
Friends
Sometimes will blind you
Sneak up behind you
Can't give enough
They lie
It would embrace you
Totally amaze you
So you don't give up
Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Ooh it can hurt you, baby
But give it a little try
See, that's the thing about love
Oooh tell me that I'm not the only one
Who's going through it all
Oooh sometimes I feel that I'm the only
One who's going through it all
But it's time, oh it's time
For me to shine
So it's 'bout time, oh it's time
For me to shine
It's 'bout time, it's 'bout time
For me to shine
It's 'bout time, it's 'bout time
For me to shine
Everybody laughs
Everybody cries
Sure it can hurt you baby
But give it a little try
See, that's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
That's the thing about
That's the thing about love
