Sad Sad Story
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.
Look at the lady she's the one with the broken heart
Even so she musn't know that I've loved her from the start
She needs a friend now more than a new romance
I'd love to take her in my arms but I can't take the chance
Chorus
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true
I gotta secret but I'm keeping it to myself
I'm bored to tears when my heart hears that she loves someoneelse
I tell her I'm sorry but it's really just a lie
Cos every time he hurts her I'm so happy I could die
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true
I love the lady and I want to make her smile
I know she's lonely but it only hurts for a little while
Soon as it's over you know the sun is gonna shine
And when she's ready for someone new, guess who's first in line
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true
Ooh it's such a sad sad story but there'll be a happy ending
Just you wait and see what I can do, ooooh
When you see a lady cryin' can you blame a guy for tryin'
To move on in and make his dreams come true
