Lyrics
You Shouldn't Do That
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 shouldn't do that, should do that
You try so hard to get somewhere,
They put you down, and cut your hair,
They're saying you're no good, they just don't care,
You're trying to fly, you get nowhere,
You get no air, you're getting aware.
You shouldn't do that, should do that.
You want so hard to get somewhere,
With trees and flowers growing there,
If you can't make it you're going spare,
You're trying to fly, you get nowhere,
You get no air, you're getting aware.
