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.
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
That's the way it is and how it's always been that's the way it's always been
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
That's the way it is and how it's always been that's the way it's always been
A little lesson or two in the art of livin' may I be forgiven if I'm guidin' you wrong
Sing for your supper remember on the other end
Of the spoon the guy's working for song
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
That's the way it is and how it's always been that's the way it's always been
[ pa pa pa pa pa ]
Yeah a little lesson or two...
