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.
When I
Carry my load
Or when I cry
I don't feel it any more
It's like a rainy day
That never goes away
Am I alone
Am I the only one
Now hold back
My, my, don't explode
We don't wanna rock the boat
Who told you that? (Who?)
Oh, they lie
And they show no shame
Now hold back
My, my, don't explode
We don't wanna rock the boat
Who told you that? (Who?)
Who told you that? (Who?)
(Who?)
Who? (Who?)
Who? (Who?)
(Who?)
(Who) told you that?
Who told you that?
Stop acting up
You know it won't change a thing
That's how it is and how it's always been
Who told you that? (Who?)
Who told you that? (Who?)
Who told you that?
(Who?)
