Gate Strikes One
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.
She picked me from the crowd
She told her girlfriends about it
They told me she liked me
And asked me if I liked her
I said that I did
Somebody asked her to dance
She said yes, but it didn't last long
He told me why don't I move over
I found myself next to her
The other ones were giving me eyes
It seemed I liked all of them
They all went to talk together
When they came back they asked me if I liked her
And I said yes
Then she asked me if I liked her
I said yes I did
Her friends said bye bye, see you later
Then she took me by the hand
Walked me away to the other part of the place
Looking for a private place
We walked into the room
And she shut the door
We held an embrace
I couldn't remember the last time
She was everything I wanted to have
I didn't care about me
She thought I wasn't finished
I thought I never would be
She seemed so happy
That was what I wanted
