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.
Before you gotta go, go, go, go
I wanted you to know, know, know, know
You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind
If somethin' were to happen, my dear
I wouldn't want the last words you hear
To be unkind, to be unkind
We got angry, said some careless things
Who was wrong remains unclear
Pride like poison, always keepin' score
You don't have to slam the door
Before you gotta go, go, go, go
I wanted you to know, know, know, know
You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind
If somethin' were to happen, my dear
I wouldn't want the last words you hear
To be unkind, to be unkind
Don't you know I'm not your enemy?
Maybe let's cut out caffeine
Tomorrow's too late to reminisce
Call me when you get this
Before you gotta go, go, go, go
I wanted you to know, know, know, know
You're always on my mind
You're always on my mind
If somethin' were to happen, my dear
I wouldn't want the last words you hear
To be unkind, to be unkind
Money down the drain
Funny how things change
You got to get away
Yeah, I know and I don't blame you
