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.
(Two, three, four, five, six!)
You know if you break my heart I'll go,
But I'll be back again,
'Cause I told you once before goodbye,
But I came back again
I thought that you would realize,
That if I ran away from you,
That you would want me too,
But I've got a big surprise oh, oh.
Oh, oh, you could find better things to do
Than to break my heart again,
This time I will try to show that
I'm not trying to pretend
I want you so
I'm the one who wants you
Yes, I'm the one who wants you oh, oh, oh, oh
You know if you break my heart I'll go,
But I'll be back again.
"Damn, Paul,
You were off.
No, you were, John.
No, you were, George."
