Hair of the Dog
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 used to think I was a man of steel
I let you down - I'm a man for real
And if you call me when it's three a.m.
You say "Come meet me
where the fools rush in"
Don't you know, don't you know it shows
And it's bound to hit cha
Tho' you been burned you still ain't learned
Not to force what just don't fit cha
What you're asking for is a little bit more
Of the hair of the dog that bit cha
You tried to cast me in the hero's role
The guy before me must have broke the mold
You're just so perfect as the heroine
I guess I'll meet cha where the fools rush in
Don't you know, don't you know it shows
And it's bound to hit cha
Tho' you been burned you still ain't learned
Not to force what just don't fit cha
What you're asking for is a little bit more
Of the hair of the dog that bit cha
