What You Need
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.
Hey, here is the story
Forget about the trouble in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line
That's why
You need
Oooh that's why
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from
What you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Pick it up and throw it into shape
That's why
You need
Oooh that's why
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
Hey you, won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you
Really need to be
