Dig It Up
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.
My girlfriend lives in the ground
My friends ask why she's not around
She won't come home
I'm so alone (you'll never know!)
You can't bury love
You've gotta dig it up
Yeah, you've gotta live it up
I take her flowers each day
I place them over her grave
I want her back
Because I look so bad, so bad in black
(Like a maniac)
You can't bury love
You've gotta dig it up
Yeah, you've gotta live it up
Please, darling, come home to me
Well, I'll make you so happy, you will see!
I'll paint your room
In pink and blue
(I'll even choose the colour scheme for you!)
You can't take away my love
I'll never give it up!
Yeah, I'm gonna dig it up
(Don't!)
(Don't! I don't want to know!)
My girlfriend lives in the ground
My friends, you ask me why she's six feet down
I can't tell you why 'cause if I even try
I'd fall down flat on my face
And I'd cry: You can't take away my love
I'm gonna dig it up!
I'm gonna live it up, yeah
I'm gonna dig it up, dig it up
I'm never gonna stop
With that loving cup
Gotta fill it up
