Do It The Hard Way
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.
Do it the hard way,
And its easy sailing.
Do it the hard way,
And it's hard to loose.
Only the soft way
Has a chance of failing.
You have to choose.
I tried the hard way,
When i tried to get you.
You took the soft way,
When you said "we'll see".
Darling, now i let you
Do it the hard way,
Now that you want me.
