It’s Code
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.
Love is gnawing on my mind
Feeling real down
All dressed up in my new suit
Took my name, my sight, my song
Been trying to find myself all day long
I heard em say
Love’ll be your curse or a restless friend
Love belongs in movies
Now I know I played with your heart
Cause when I turned back around I saw
You in someone else’s arms
Walking round town
All dressed up making your move
But I was scared to fall in love
I never thought I’d be the one
That would push you in her arms
Oh baby it’s code
I want you to hold me
And love me til I want no more
Need me, and need me til I need no more
Baby it’s code, baby it’s code
But I was scared to fall in love
I never thought I’d be the one
That would push you in her arms, oh!
Oh baby it’s code
I want you to hold me
And love me til I want no more
Need me, and need me til I need no more
Baby it’s code, baby it’s code
Oh baby, hey baby
I wanna be in your arms, oh
Please don’t leave
Please I need a nurse
I’ve been hurt
I need a glass of Merlot Blanc
I know I was wrong
But can’t you see
The harm that’s been done to me, oh!
