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.
Well you don't care how I've hurt you don't care how I've cried
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by
Well I don't know I don't know why but everything you tell me is a lie
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by
Well it seem at first my thirst for love was satisfied by your sweet charms
But now and then you'd lean yourself in someone else's arms
If you can't treat me right well at least won't you give me the try
You gotta learn you can't do me this way and get by
[ guitar ]
Well it seem at first my thirst...
