Take Me Tip
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 think you're gonna please her so you walk right up and tease
her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her 'Cause you're playing with the
spider who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her
book
Gotta get ahead, get a car, fancy clothes or she'll throw you
right off her hook
Here's the news you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gonna make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
You can't give all you got to take something back
Before she'll put you right up on her rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
You think you're gonna please her so you walk right up and tease
her
But she walks right on by
You're scared to walk beside her 'Cause you're playing with the
tiger who possess the sky
She got the green backs, my oh my
You gotta act tall, think big, if you wanna make a mark in her
book
Gotta get ahead, get a car, fancy clothes or she'll throw you
right off her hook
Here's the news you are but one fish in her back garden scene
Gonna make like a shark to be free
Something bad on your mind
Get it off, take my tip
Get it off, take my tip
You can't give all you have to take something back
Before she'll put you right up on the rack
With some others in mind
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
Take my tip get on out
