Watching You
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.
That's a good question, why am I standing out here alone
I guess I don't know enough to come in from the rain
I was watching your window from here below
I think I just might stay here all day cause I gotta dosomething
(CHORUS)
If I can't love you, I don't want to love you
If I can't hold you, I don't want to be thinking of you
And if you don't want me, I don't want to want you
And if you won't see me, I don't know what to do
But oh keep watching you until I see right through
Oh I keep watching you
You could throw me down a cigarette
I smoked my last one quite a while ago
No, I gave it to the man that swore he had no need
You know sometimes if I listen real close
I can hear the dark side of the moon
And there's always yesterday's Times if I care to read
And I gotta do something
(CHORUS)
Sure I'm alright, no I'm not very cold
Every now and then I can feel the subway heat
So go on inside, I'll leave you alone
Anyway Bogart's on in the window down the street
And I gotta do something
(CHORUS)
