What You See Is What You Get
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.
You don't know me, I don't know you,
We're like strangers coming out of the blue,
We call each other by different names,
My name is Tarzan baby, your's could be Jane,
Looks like rain, I think there could be snow,
These days somehow you just never know,
The weather bureau are finding it hard,
Yesterday's sunshine caught them off their guard
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
Oh, I've no secrets to keep from you,
Not that that's something I wouldn't do,
We all have secrets that we keep to ourselves,
Mine is what I love to, but I'm afraid I can't tell
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect, You expect,
What you see is what you get,
What you are is what you expect, You expect
