The Only Thing I Want
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.
I don't want another drink bartender
And my cigarette starting getting strong
I don't want to hear the jukebox playing
The only thing i want just went home
We came in here to have ourselves a party
Then suddenly my whole world turned so wrong
Now i don't want to see the sun tomorrow
The only thing i want just went home
I don't know how the quarrel started
The only thing that i know is that she's gone
I don't want to face a world without her
The only thing i want just went home
