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.
would I need ya if I got amnesia
would you be the one for me
if I lost my memory
and would I look at you the way that I used to
would I fall in love all over again
or would I have to pretend
are we gonna stay the way we are
are we gonna break and fall apart
are we gonna make it when our love is tested
are we gonna stay the way we are
I don't wanna break and fall apart
are we gonna make it through the shark infested water
hearts entrusted to each other
and I don't know what I'd do if I found out you were untrue
would I find it in my heart to forgive
would I be able to forget
will I be be beautiful or will I just be a fool
can you keep me fresh and young
what if I make you deaf and dumb
are we gonna stay the way we are are...
can we still have adventures when we're old and wear dentures
will you kiss me on the lips
do you think we'll dance with our plastic hips
and when you look at me will you see the girl
you met when you were nineteen
will you see a lady with a limber heart
swimming in the water with the sharks
are we gonna stay the way we are are
