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 supposed to shake his hand and walk all smiling
Make believe that you don't mean a thing to me
I'm supposed to offer my congratulations but I'm not the man that I supposed to be
I'm supposed to make believe I won't miss you
And forget the times you held me tenderly
I'm supposed to tell the world it never happened
But I'm not the man that I supposed to be
I'd rather stand up and fight for what's mine
And to give you up it's just too much for me
So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting
That I'm not the man that I supposed to be
[ piano ]
So if I don't shake his hand...
