Don't Shake Me Up
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.
This is something to thank your fortune for
Although I got nothing & you got something
See I'm not fit to be an open door
Or the mat you wipe your feet upon
Please someone
Don't shake me up
Many's the time I've thought of you
Lying in my bed in the afternoon
No-one for company
This is the month that puts tomorrow back
Only you got something, I got sidetracked
Just for once I'd like my lover mapped
For me to write my name upon
Please someone
Don't shake me up
Many's the time I've thought of you
Lying in your bed with the ocean view
Not me for company
Don't shake me up
There'll be a time when I'm far from you
When I will see the trick of you
And the trick of you and me
Then the burden of my heart (say something)
Will not sing a sorry song
Yea, the burden of my heart
Will not be the sorry, be the sorry one
No, don't shake me up
Many's the time I've thought of you
Lying in your bed in the afternoon
