Things Don't Seem
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 think it's going alright
You think it's going fine girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't
I hope you don't mind
Gonna get you come around baby
Wanna see you through it well
Not makin' any promises but maybe
That's only in the movies movies
Chorus
Things just`a don't seem`a
To be going right
Things just`a don't seem`a
To be going right
Prospect of a reconciliation
Memories of some funny conversation
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon I can't afford it
Your mother with the bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Your father's always thinking me a weirdo
I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction
Chorus x 2
You think it's going alright
You think it's going fine girl
You think there's nothing in it for you
I hope you don't
I hope you don't mind
Your mother with the bird's nest hairdo
Your brother with plenty of action
Feel like taking a vacation
Like going to the moon I can't afford it
Chorus x 4
Things just`a Don't seem`a
To be going right
Yeahhhhhhh
