Cherry Red
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.
Run here pretty baby, set down on your daddy's knee
I want to tell everybody, how you've been sending me
Now if that's your secret, you can keep it to yourself
'Cause if you tell me, I might tell somebody else
I ain't never loved and I hope I never will
Because a lovin' proposition, will get somebody killed
Lead me pretty baby, 'cause you know I can be led
Squeeze me pretty baby until my face turns cherry red
