What You're Doing
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.
Well, I see you standin' there
with your finger in the air.
Everything we do, you wanna leave it up to you.
Who do you think you are?
You think you are a star?
Tryin' to run the town, always tryin' to put us down.
Well, you think that you're right,
You think you're out of sight.
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us souptight?
Well, you say you've been tryin'.
You know that you're lyin'.
I think you need some groovin'; who do you think you're foolin'now?
Well, you better start changin',
Your life needs rearrangin'.
You better do some talkin', or you better do some walkin' now.
Yeah, you think that you're right.
You think you're out of sight.
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us souptight?
I know what you're doing,
All that you been doin' wrong.
I don't know what you're feelin',
Oh, but you been feelin' long.
Well, you think that you're right.
Tell me something, mister, why'd you have to make us so uptight?
