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.
I know you
You're the one I always turn to
When I'm down
You were made for me
A tender heartbeat away
When I feel this close
I don't know what to say
Me and my car broke down
So I'm gonna take a red cab to manhattan
I'll be heading out my door
Got some friends who wanna see me
Don't know what I'm living for
Gonna take a red cab to manhattan
"Insincere", you say
Well, I'm right here beside you
And I'm a million miles away
I'm listening to the o'jay sing
Don't lose your heart
Don't lose your heart
Till you're sure that she's the one
Me and my car broke down
So I'm gonna take a red cab to manhattan
See, 'it's a wonderful life'
Take jimmy stewart out to dinner
And buy some postcards for his wife
Gonna take a red cab to manhattan
Oh, it's too late to make fun of it
Oh, oh, he's given you the best of it
So I'm gonna take a red cab to manhattan
I'll be heading out my door
Got some friends who wanna see me
Don't know what I'm living for
Gonna take a red cab to manhattan
Red cab to manhattan
I'll be heading out my door
Got some friends who wanna see me
Don't know what I'm living for
Gonna take a red cab to manhattan
Red cab, red cab
Red cab, red cab, red cab
Red cab to manhattan
Stewart out to dinner
Buy some postcards for his wife
Watch, 'a wonderful life'
Such a wonderful life
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life
