Eyes Like Tar
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.
Who's got eyes as black as tar?
That melt and drip and burn and scar,
Who's got eyes as black as tar?
It's the lady at the bar.
And who's that standing at the door?
She said don't come round here no more,
So who's that standing at the door?
I don't know you anymore.
Try, try, try my hardest,
Well I,
Try, try, try my hardest,
Well I.
Hey now what's the big idea?
Don't bring those good looks round here,
What's the matter with my heart?
It's the girl with eyes like tar.
So who's that standing at the door?
She said don't come round here no more,
So who's that standing at the door?
I don't know you anymore.
I try, try, try my hardest,
Well I,
Try, try, try my hardest,
Well I
