From The Word Go
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.
I was a fool from the word go...
Go on and go, I had to say
Don't let the screen door hit you as you walk away,
Go ahead and make your brand new life.
I won't lose any sleep without you in mine.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go
Go on and take our pictures down off the wall
(off the, off the, off the wall)
And pack up your cat-i won't miss that at all
Well, go ahead and take the dreams that we shared
You never look back-well, see if I care.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go
So go on and go, I heard myself say
In a moment of pride my world slipped away
Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was fool from the word go
From the word go...
