First Week/Last Week...Carefree
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.
Can we run that again
Is that a woman's voice I hear?
I said, "Let's wait and see. I'll see for myself"
That's a phrase I repeat
To myself
Made a reference to me and
that's myself too
What progress I have made the first week
First Week
First Week
First Week
Every sentence I use
Refer to women and their names
I heard the voice first last week
I heard it myself
Made a reference to me
That's myself
This report's incomplete
I see for myself
Every appointment has been moved to last week
Last Week
Last Week
Last Week
oh...
ah...
oh...
I heard the voice first last week
I heard it myself
Made a reference to me
And that's myself
This report's incomplete
I see for myself
Every appointment has been been moved to last week
Last Week
Last Week
Last Week
oh...
ah...
oh...
