Lookin' For Myself
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.
You may be lookin' for me but i ain't lookin' for you
I'm still lookin' for myself and i ain't got time to look for nobody else
When i found who i am and where i am
And if you come round again maybe then baby maybe then
You wanna follow me but honey can't you see
I don't know where the hell i'm goin'
How can i know your mind when i don't even know my own
Now when the road gets tough or when i get enough
Or maybe when i reach the end maybe then baby maybe then
So stick around or go away whichever one you choose
You ain't got a single thing that i think i can use
And you and i ain't shared a thing that i'm afraid to lose
You say that you love me but i don't love you
I love someone i never seen as she lives in a place that i never been
When i realize it's all in my eyes
Just one great big patent maybe then maybe then
Maybe then maybe then maybe then but i won't say when
Maybe then baby maybe then
