Being Different
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.
One is a driver
He stays aliver
Than the people he sees
The man finally freed him
His friends really need him
To show them how it's gonna be
Back together
Man, it's been a long, long time
Back together forever
Bein' different
Ain't never been a crime
Bein' different
Ain't never been a crime
That I can be kind once more
The street people won't give me a hand
They all think that I'm the man
Is that my baby in some disguise
Shuckin' and jivin' and tellin' me lies
She wants to see
Howa grown man cries again, yeah
She wants to see
How a grown man cries again
I've been thinkin' 'bout what I'll do
When I finally catch up to you
Ain't gonna be hard, ain't gonna be mean
Gonna be nice as you ever seen
You know, Baby
I'm never gonna lean on you
You know, Baby
I'm never gonna lean on you
