Meant It For a Minute
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.
Don't believe a word
You don't believe it
I know what you've heard
I could take it or leave it
I meant it for a minute
Not a second too late
Meant it for a minute
Too weak to wait
You took it like a ticket
You were never meant to take
You know I meant it for a minute
Meant it for a minute
You never took a hint
I never lost a wink of sleep
Don't think I blink the tears back
Everytime you walk away
You can snap your fingers 123
But you can never count on girls like me
Hearts like yours are craxk and break
And it's tickin' like a ticket tape
You know I meant it meant it for a minute
Meant it mean it for a minute
You took it right and left
From time to time I lose myself
Can't help I fell
I've left my marbles
On the shelf to roll away
You can count your blessings anyway you please
Standin' on your feet or on your knees
I'm no sweet meant to be
I only meant it for a minute
You know I meant it meant it for a minute
Meant it meant it for a minute
