Lyrics
Bella Donna
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.
Baby, I asked you not to keep me waiting.
I told you now to keep me waiting.
Now the afternoon is fading on.
Donna, Bella Donna have you seen me?
Have you ever really seen me
Like I want for you to see me now?
Lonesome like you were when you were sixteen.
When maybe even I weren't listening.
Did I help when I was kissing you?
Donna, Bella Donna are you listening?
And were you ever really listening
Like I want for you to listen now?
