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.
What would I ever do with a rose?
How would it ever get me high?
What would I ever do with a rose?
How would it ever get me by?
How would it ever get the guy?
What would I ever do with a rose?
Sitting here underneath the bridge
Making love at the break of dawn
Sitting here in the afternoon
Making love underneath the awning
I'll then tell you in the night
Tell you this with a kiss
Never does the dream come true
Without the night
Never does the dream come true
Without the nightmare
What would I ever do with a rose?
How would it ever get me high?
What would I ever do with a rose?
How would it ever get me by?
How would it ever get the guy?
What would I ever do?
What would I ever do with you?
Never does the dream come true
Without the nightmare.
