You Deserve
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.
You deserve sixteen lackeys
Waitin' on your night and day
And thirty-two hands wavin' fans
Just to brush the flies away
You deserve Persian maidens
Just to stand and peel your grapes
And dressed in pearls, harem girls
In half a dozen sizes and shapes
If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can bet, I will love you
Love you to the Nth degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
With the love you're gonna gеt in from me
You deservе ancient barges
Just to float you down the Nile
And when you're blue you'll have a few
Jesters just to make you smile
If I had the riches of Sumatra
I would give you all I own
You deserve a queen like Cleopatra
To come along and share your throne
But you can bet, I will love you
Love you to the Nth degree
And what you deserve just can't compare
To the love you're gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
Baby, gonna get from me
