Oh, Marion
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.
The boy's got brains
He just don't use 'em that's all
The boy's got brains
He just refuse to use 'em and that's all
He said the more I got to thinkin
The less I tend to laugh
The boy's got brains
He just abstains
The boy's got a heart
But it beats on the opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature defied
He said it's a chance I had to take
So I shifted my heart for it's safety sake
The boy's got a heart but it beats on
His opposite side
Oh, Marion
I think I'm in trouble here
I should have believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
He says: Oh, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is natural
