The Good And The Bad
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.
Mmm hmm hmm hmm
Mmm hmm
Hmm hmm
Livin' is good when you have someone to live with
Laughter is bad when there's no one there to share it with
Talkin' is bad if you've got no one to talk to
Dyin' is good when no one you love grow tired of you
(Good)
Sugar is no good, once it's cast among the white sand
(No good)
What's the point in pulling the gray hairs from among the black strands?
When you're old you shouldn't walk in the fast lane
(Old)
Oh, ain't it useless to keep on tryin' to draw true love from that man
(Useless)
He'll hurt you, yes, just for the sake of hurting you
And he'll hate you, if you try to love him just the same
He'll use you and everything you have to offer him
On your way girl, get out and find you someone new
(Ohh ohh ohh ohh)
He'll hurt you, yes, just for the sake of hurting you
And he'll hate you, if you try to love him just the same
He'll use you and everything you have to offer him
On your way girl, get out and find you someone new
(Way)
