38 Special
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.
I know you wanted to talk to me
Not tonight
I have some things to say to you
Not tonight
What's the use in talking
We'll just fight
What's the use in talking
We'll just fight
We'll just fight
This is a dead town
Guess the one's that still around
This is a dead town
I know you wanted to talk to me
Not tonight
I have some things to say to you
Not tonight
What's the use in talking
We'll just fight
What's the use in talking
It doesn't feel right
We'll just fight
'Cause this is a dead town
Guess the one that's still around
This is a dead town
Dead town
Dead town
Dead town
Dead town
You never turned me down
You never turned me down
You should have turned me down
'Cause this is a dead town
'Cause this is a dead town
This is dead town
