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.
Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Sooner or later
You run away, run away and let me down
Black air and seven seas and rotten through
But what can you do?
Sometimes I don't know how get on with you lot
Sometimes I don't try
I just now, now, now, now, now
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away, don't run away and let me down
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer all this
I can't see teeth to find a reason
Just to him I come
To a decision on it
Sooner or later
Your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later
Don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later
You hit the deck, you get found out
Save it for later
Don't run away, you run away and let me down
Why don't you hold me
Why don't you hold me and kiss me
Why don't you hold me
Why don't you hold me and kiss me now
Save it for later baby
Save it for later honey
Don't run away, don't run away and let me down
Don't run away, don't run away and let me down
