You Wouldn't Know a Good Thing
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.
If you put your mind to it and you try just a little bit
Well I know you could be the biggest fool of the world
You had yourself quite a woman the kind you don't find everyday
And just like a fool son you love her get away
You wouldn't know good thing if it came around
You wouldn't know a good thing if it knocked you down hmm
[ guitar ]
I hate to say that you're a fool but there's gonna come a time when you'll
Curse the day you let her love slip through your hands
Waitin' till you try to find someone to take the place of her
That's when you'll find out son how big a fool you were
You wouldn't know good thing...
