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.

All I thought I wanted was a front door

All I thought I wanted was a place in the country

Now I realise I wanted so much more

Some I love but you I adore

You think you're really swinging

But you're off the beat

The moves your brains a thinking

Doesn't reach your feet

You got to get this complication out of your head

Or find another man instead

You listen very close to what the bad girls said

In all those crumby articles and in my bed

You say I'm just a stripper not afraid to strip

With my brains rattlin' my hips

You've got the kind of looks

That make a dead man stare

But when it comes to working honey

You ain't there

I try to tell you nicely but the screaming starts

You're playing ping pong with my heart
