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.
Love won't see me comin'
On a Sunday noon today.
Still don't believe we're fadin',
But now the world should wait.
And now you're finally listenin'
To what I have to say.
Well, the time is right,
And it is today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight.
After all these years, baby,
Maybe it's too late.
But I really need to
Have you by my side,
And that's the only feelin',
Baby, I can't hide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well you aren't listenin', I ain't talkin',
We ain't gettin' nowhere.
I keep tryin' to get through to you baby;
All you do is stare.
I don't wanna see that.
I need you by my side.
Well, I don't want to be your lover,
Babe, I wanna be your man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, now my story's over, baby,
And I ain't gonna tell it twice.
Well, you better start listenin',
Or get out of my life.
Or you're gonna be left out,
I said left out in the cold.
Yeah, before you get my lovin',
Babe, you'll be too old.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm talkin' to you baby.
Well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
