Let's Invite Them Over
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.
I know why you're lonely and I know why you're blue
You're lonesome to see him and I long to see her too
We're not in love with each other, we're in love with our best friends
So let's invite them over again
We've talked it over and over and we know it's not right
We should stay away forever but we're lonesome each night
Yes we stay away for a while but we know in the end
We'll invite them over again
We've talked it over and over and we know it's not right
We should stay away forever but we're lonesome each night
Yes we stay away for a while but we know in the end
We'll invite them over again
Let's invite them over again.
