If You Must Tell Him
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.
If you must tell him
Tell him gently
Say that he had a clever mind but add that he was too smart for his own good
That's all there was
If you must tell him
Tell him gently
The other one was handsome but he knew it all too well and that was it
That's all there was
You say you should be rational
You say you should be more true to yourself
And if that's all there is...
I know you could be rational
I know you could be more true to yourself
And if that's all there is...
There are ways to leave him
I think eight ways to leave your man
There are ways to leave him
But you will not leave your man
Something in his pocket stops you ohhohho
He would most likely rather know you
As the one who threw up everytime a boy passed by until she met the one
I know it's hard
And don't mention the one you loved by
All of your heart and never got over
So when he lies upon you
Just close your eyes and be quiet
I know it's hard
You've tried so hard
