I Can't Stand It
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.
It's hard being a man
Living in a garbage pail
My landlady called me up, oh
She tried to hit me with a mop
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more, oh
I can't stand it any more more
But if baby would just come back, it'd be all right
Yeah, if baby would just come back, it would be all right
Come on, baby
I live with thirteen dead cats
A purple dog that wears spats
They're all living out in the hall
And I can't stand it any more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
But if baby would just come back, it'd be all right
Oh, if baby would just come back, it would be all right
Be all right, now
Come on, baby
I'm tired of living all alone, yeah
Nobody ever calls me on the phone
But when things are getting better
I just play my music louder
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it any more more
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
