Don't Get Married
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're like a guitar in the hands
Of a man that just can't play
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
You're like a student on vacation
That's waitin' for school to resume
Like a flower in the dark,
Never gonna bloom
You're getting married
You're getting married
You're getting married--oh no...
Well, you say that you'll both be real happy
You forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage
Watchin' the flock fly on by
You're like a student who's on vacation
Just waitin' for school to start
I don't know what's in it for you,
But it ain't in your heart...
You're getting married
You're getting married
You're getting married--oh no..oh no...
You're like a guitar in the hands
Of some fool that just can't play
You're like an inmate countin' off the days
Well, you say that you'll both be happy
Hey, you forgot to tell your eyes
You're like a bird in a cage
Watchin' the flock fly on by
You're like a student on vacation
Just waitin' for school to resume
You're like a flower in the dark,
You ain't never gonna bloom
If you get married
If you get married
Don't you get married
No, no, no no...
