Faithless
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.
Tears of sorrow, tears of joy
Oh come at once for the sweetest boy
(nobody knows)
That's the price that the boy has paid
To choose not to be afraid
That's the price that the girl has paid
Oh for all the promises she made
(y'look pretty good)
She is triple hep 'n' blue
She'll never ever know what's true
Fallout of love
It's the fallout of love
(what you want and you need)
Do right, they do wrong, they understand
That they're never ever ever ever gonna win
These are the better times
(oh yeah darlin'!)
I'm a hetero-genius
I wanna testify (oooh)
But she does it but she doesn't understand
Faithless now I just got soul (baby)
Ooh look at the girl go (baby)
Oh look at the girl go
She looks so fine (so fine)
Do you do you do (baby)
Do you do you do
(But you looks so good)
Do you do-oh
Do you do
Do you do-oooh
Oh who coulda seen it
(who coulda heard)
Who coulda told them
(who coulda known)
Oh who coulda seen it
(who coulda heard)
Who coulda told them
(who coulda known)
They do it but they never understand
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now
Tears of sorrow, tears of joy
Oh come at once for the sweetest boy
(nobody knows)
That's the price that the boy has paid
To choose not to be afraid
Fallout of love
Ow! The fallout, baby, fallout of love
(nobody knows)
The girl is righteous and she understands why
These are the better times
All the boys down at the club
They say "Now she must be something"
I said "You don't know the half of it Jack!"
She does it but she doesn't understand
