Never Hold You
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've seen 'em watch you and
Make plans what they'll do when
Someday you are no longer mine
I've heard 'em carry on about
How when I'm finally gone they're
Gonna treat you oh so fine
But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I could have told them
You bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you
as a prize
I could have told them
Those foolish soul'd men that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I've been made real aware of
Pleasure that they'll share with
You soon as I slip your mind
I've listened to 'em boast how
I'll just be a ghost once
They start takin' up your time
But I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
