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.
I'm feeling down
My senses are bound
'Cause I can’t get the one I want to
Can’t get the one I want to
Don’t ask me the time
My watch doesn’t wind
I neglected my taste
And I'm drinking cheap wine
'Cause I can’t get the one I want to love
So I'm just biding my time
Drunk is drunk
The wine is just fine
There’s so many people
Trying to get to
Get to the one they want to
Get to the one they want to
Get to the one they want to love
So I'm just biding my time
Till I see you again
The wine will do fine
I can’t get the one I want to
I can’t get the one I want to, oh
I can’t get the one I want to love
Love
