Lyrics
I Know Very Well How I Got My Name
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.
A child in a curious phase
A man with sullen ways
Oh, I know very well how I got my name
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love
But you're wrong
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
When thirteen years old
Who dyed his hair gold ?
Oh, I know very well, I don't need to be told
You think you were my first love
You think you were my first love
But you're wrong
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
You were the only one
Who's come and gone
