What Did I Hear
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 didn't tell me mister that you were fooling me
You lead me on, I took your word
And now I'm wonderin' what it is I heard
Was it the words of an angel or a devil in disguise
I'm not sure what it was I saw in your eyes
You deceived me mister it sure seems that way
You said you were gonna do away with today
I guess you knew that wasn't possible
I guess there's no such thing as today or any day
There's only what you are and what you're doing
And if you're...
And if you're staying back behind
You must wanna be the one that's blind
To some people that could use you to help them get along
Get along, get along, get along
