Can't Cope
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 think he knows how I feel
But his lady is my girl
I don't want to pry
And I can't hide what's inside
'Cause it's real
I can leave it all the same
But will it stop the pain?
I can't hold it in much longer
The feeling's getting stronger
The other day I saw him playing ball
I wanted to throw him against the wall
But then he'd know I lost my cool
I cannot play the fool
Somehow I gotta let you know
I just can't cope
It's always on my mind
Your loving feeling
Makes me think of you all the time
(The time)
You're so fine
(You're so fine)
If I could get my nerve up, baby
Then you will know the way I feel inside
All this love
I have is yours
See, I never let it show
So now I gotta let you know
Somehow I gotta let you know
It's always on my mind
Gotta let you know
No holding back this time
I can't stand the pressure, baby
These feelings coming over me
I try to put it all behind
Somehow I gotta let you know
I just can't cope
It's always on my mind
Your loving feeling
Makes me think of you all the time
(The time)
You're so fine
(You're so fine)
You're so fine
You're so fine
You're so fine
