You Better Wait
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.
She was only a child
Someone to hold on
Only a child
Someone to believe in
Only a child, someone to love
She was "17", beauty queen
I met her in a magazine
Heart of fire, love's desire
Reachin' out, higher higher
Runaway, one more day
A broken hearted child at play
I pray for you, baby blue
In the name of love I reach for you
In the darkness comes the evil of the night
Think about it
(You better wait)
Stop your self before you fall
(You better wait)
Stop before you lose it all
Somewhere there's love
Oh, somewhere, somewhere
Precious girl, little pearl
Temptation is lonely world
Eyes deceive, they believe
In everything they wanna see, yeah
And the neon lights reflect your life
Only you know where you hide baby
(You better wait)
Stop your self before you fall
(You better wait)
Stop before you lose it all
Cause somewhere there's love
(You better wait)
Stop yourself before you start
(You better wait)
Don't look back, don't lose heart
Don't look, don't look
Don't look back baby
Don't
Don't look, don't look
Don't look back baby
