Shame On The Moon
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.
Till you've been beside a man
You don't knowwhat he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin' comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels
Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up a door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go
Ooh blame it on midnight
Uuh shame on the moon
Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all about
Laughin' right out loud
Hey watch where you're goin'
Step light on your toes
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows
Ooh blame it on midnight
Uuh shame on the moon
Ooh blame it on midnight
Uuh shame on the moon
