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.
Well I don't like it when I see your eyes dartin'
Back and forth across the room
And I don't like it when I see you doin' dances
Baby that I ain't used to
CHORUS
But that's the kind of fella I am
That's the kind of fella I am
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And I might fall in love with you
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And I just might fall in love with you
Hey
Well I don't like it when you try to impress me
With your daddy's jewels and his car
And I don't like it when I hear you talkin'
'Bout your ex-boyfriend the movie star
What I like is when you walk me home
And you let me hold you tight
But I don't like it when I hear that you learned
All this from some other guy
CHORUS
So look out
CHORUS
