Lyrics
Cleo
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.
Cleo, cleo, won’t you come around and play girl
Cleo, cleo, won’t you come around and stay girl
You can find the lines to say, if you try
Someone else has just confessed
To drinking up all your wine.
Cleo, cleo, there’s a way for you to find out
How you should say, what you think is the way out
Will you, won’t you, will you see me through
Maybe you could help me find a thing or two about you.
Cleo, cleo, now’s the time for you to tell me
If you, want to, you can leave it up to me girl
After you have told me what you wanna do
I could tell you, that I loved you, if I thought that it would
be true.
Cleo, cleo, oh cleo I want you, me oh my.
Oh cleo I want you, me oh my.
