Lyrics
Butterfly Dance
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.
Everything you do is true as long as you believe it
And everything you say is play and that's how you should treat it
And everyone is high until there's something makes them low
That's when you should stay, that's not the time to go
No, no, no, no, no, no
That's when you should stay and let your love just flow
Lady lady won't you come here quick
This whisky and wine is making me sick
I want you now and I don't t care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Ask me a question and I'll tell you a lie
Ask me another, I'll spit in your eye
Don't like to leave you but I know I can't stay
So just keep lovin' in your butterfly way
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Too much and too many things on my mind
Can't make a story of things I can't find
Rock and roll music playin' in my head
Gonna keep on dancin' till I drop down dead
It could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Lady lady won't you come here quick
Cause these evil drugs are makin' me sick
I want you now and I don't care why
You crazy beautiful butterfly
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret
You know you're so high above
You fill my head with music
My heart with love
And it could take all night to get a single thing right
It could take all day to find something to say
Magical margaret....
Magical butterfly
