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.
Oh well it's much too early, not right now
How can I love you when I, I don't know how
I don't know how, I don't know how?
How can I trust my eyes, do they really see
What is the truth? It's hard for me
Hard for me, hard for me
It's hard to understand what's really there
When all my hopes they just cloud the air
Cloud the air, cloud the air
Love is all around me, till we understand
It's easy to see baby, but talk to me
And love is all around us if we could be free
Love is all around us if we just, if we just try to see
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ooh wah ooh
Ah
You say you need me, baby, as you breathe the words
That's time for you to leave, oh no!
Time to leave, time to leave
Oh please, don't push me, baby, I might learn how to play your game
Now it's your turn
It's your turn, it's your turn
I'd love to love you now till I'll be sure
That this time your love won't hurt me more
Hurt me more, hurt me more, oh, come on!
I think I'll go now, yeah you're always gonna break me my heart
And I see I gotta go now, honey I just wanna say
Oh you're breaking my heart right now baby
Oh you're breaking my heart now now now
Now I don't wanna hurt you, no no no no
And I don't wanna hold you, yeah!
I need a twenty-four hour man
So when you love me all night long
I need a twenty-four hour man
Honey, where are you?
But doesn't really matter when I need you so
It doesn't really matter, tell me yes or no
It doesn't really matter, babe I got to know
It doesn't really matter, this is love
I just love to love you, ah ooh!
