If You'd Have Only Taken The Time
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'd have only taken the time to tell me you're mine and say that you love me
I may not have been too eager then to tell you goodbye
But I made up my mind for sure this time that I'm gonna leave you
So next time don't wait don't hesitate appreciate the good man
I don't belong so I'll just move along it's better this way
A man should walk tall but you made me feel small and that's why I say
If you'd have only taken the time...
But I made up my mind...
But I made up my mind...
