Give it Away
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.
You know they say you best be careful
What you're looking for
Everything you want in life
To the girl next door
Well it could happen to you now any day
When someone you don't know could blow you away
CHORUS
Better watch out who you trust
And be careful what you say
'Cause you know you've got too much
To give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Along came Mary Jane and her friends
Knocking at your door
Looking for some long-term suckers
Like she's had before
Don't you notice me as I've noticed you from your face?
Don't look so long 'cause you're gone from your place??
CHORUS
Better watch out who you trust
And be careful what you say
'Cause you know you've got too much
To give it away
Well now I don't care where you come from
And what you do or say
'Cause you've got way too much
To give it away
Something clicked and it kicked in today
Something kicked in today
Feels so good, it feels just right
Gotta fight the fight everyday
Don't give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Don't throw it away
Give it away
Don't dream it away
Give it away
