Manchild
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'm not having any fun
I'm not having any fun
Friday, five sixteen P.M.
And every time you crave for me, I'm here
And anything you hunger for, I'll share
And I will be quietly standing by
While slowly I am dying inside
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel, like I am a child in love
And every time I talk to you, you're down
And every time you need a laugh, I'm around
And when you forget I'm here, I'm not
It isn't really me that you forgot
Hold me in your arms
And let me be the one
Who can feel, like I am a child in love
Whisper now and tell me how
You'll watch me and tell me
Somehow, I'm gonna be alright
