Can't You Be Real
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.
Long ago we had our dreams
And that was all that we needed
Then all at once we got to see
The cycles we repeated
Baby, can't you be real
I said, Baby, can't you be real
Anyone can look into your eyes
And tell you what you're missin'
It's been told to you many times before
But you refuse to listen
Baby, can't you be real
Oh, Baby, can't you be real
I said, Baby, can't you be real
