Dolly
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.
Some things are gonna be bad, babe
I fight to find something better to say
I'll hold you on the bus, we'll laugh when you cry in the rain
How romantic is your pain, how romantic is your pain?
And I'm sorry, 'cause you did not deserve your worries
Everyone gets burnt by somebody
But you've been tossed and turned like Dolly
I wanna cleanse your body, clean your arm and kiss your head
I want to wrap you up in cotton wool and make your bed
I want you to let go, so you can see what you have left
Choose your wars wisely ahead, choose your wars wisely ahead
And I'm sorry, 'cause you did not deserve your worries
Everyone gets burnt by somebody
But you've been tossed and turned like Dolly
And I'm sorry, 'cause you did not deserve your worries
Everyone gets burnt by somebody
But you've been tossed and turned, you've been tossed and turned, you've been
