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.
Somebody else is taking my place
Somebody else now shares your embrace
While I am trying
To keep from crying
You go around with a smile on your face
Little you care for vows that you made
Little you care how much I have paid
My heart is aching
My heart is breaking
For somebody's taking my place
