Too Bad
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.
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad you decided to stay away
(Too bad baby)
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad I really thought you were okay
(Too bad baby)
You admit you were wrong
That you knew all along
Yet you still had the nerve
To go leading me on
It's too bad baby
But not especially for me
It's no good us going on
It's no good you trying to soft-soap me
(No good baby)
It's no good I'm telling you
It's no good all we ever do is disagree
(No good baby)
What am I supposed to do
How can I forgive you
If you won't even bother
To tell me the truth
It's no good baby
But not especially for good ol' me
I wanna say I've enjoyed
All the nights we've employed
And the pleasure it's given me
But I cannot except with the greatest respect
Anybody to termine me
Do I make myself perfectly clear
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad you decided to stay away
(Too bad baby)
It's too bad you couldn't come
It's too bad I really thought you were okay
(Too bad baby)
Said you'd be there at nine
Well I got there on time
But you didn't show up
Because you changed your mind
It's too bad baby
But not especially for me
Too bad for you and not for me
(Too bad baby)
And not for me
(Too bad baby)
Too bad for you and not for me baby
Too bad baby
Too bad baby
