Don't Explain
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.
Don't explain
It's really not your style
I've had some fun
You really made me smile
Don't look so serious
It doesn't suit your face
Don't explain, don't explain
You sure know
How to use your hands
But you don't have a great attention span
Don't apologise
Or drop your eyes
Don't explain, don't explain
I've seen them come, I've seen them go
Boys like you
Their gangster hearts, their dreamy loads
Boys like you
So take your things
I won't count the days
Sure you can call on me
If you pass this way
But if one night you're lonely
And I have other company
Don't complain, don't complain
