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.
Oh, I'm feeling so fine and you're looking so good
And I'd like to get together
Oh Lord, I wish we could
But there's someone at home
Who's depending on me
And boy they'd never know it
If I set my passions free
Chorus:
But I don't think love ought to be that way
No I don't think love ought to be that way
I could tell him a lie
And I know I'd get by
But I don't think love ought to be that way
You say a precious moment
Is all that it would be
That I'd forget about you
And you'd forget me
Oh I love what you're saying
It's tempting me so
And though I love to hear it
There's no way that I'll let go
Repeat Chorus
(Repeat Chorus x3)
