Make It Up
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.
When a train comes, I don't know what to do
I'm leavin' town, but I ain't leavin' you
When I get down, get these far away blues
And I don't wanna go back home
I could say I'm sorry if you think it would help
You say you call me, yeah but you never can tell
You just stand there, just wishing me well
And I can't think of nothin' to say
And I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You wont have to wait very long
And i'll be home dear
And I know that you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome 'cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up to you
Make it up to you (x3)
We've been gone now for four weeks maybe longer
And it's cold out and this hurt's gettin' stronger
And I called you but you just sat in that corner
Watching that telephone ring
Baby pick up so I can hear your sweet voice
Cause I miss you, don't be sad anymore
Cause one day I'll walk through that door
And hold you in my arms
And I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You don't have to wait very long
And I'll be home dear
And I know that you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up to you
Make it up to you (x3)
You've been drinkin', you've been drinkin' your wine
And you're wasted, yes and wastin' your time
And it's plain now, when you say it isn't mine
Well baby can't you see I've been tryin'
I'm ready cause I know this can work
And I would take you to the ends of the earth
Just hold on just a little bit longer and I'll be back by your side
Yeah cause, I'm gonna write you a song
To tell you just how much I've been missing you
You don't have to wait very long
And I'll be home, yeah I'll be home
And I know you've been crying at night
But you dont have to be lonesome cause
I'm gonna make it right
Make it up, Make it up
I'll make it up (x6)
