Lonely Boy
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.
Well, I'm so above you, and it's plain to see
But I came to love you anyway
So you pull my heart out
And I don't mind bleeding
Any of the time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
Well, your mama kept you, but your daddy left you
And I should have done you just the same
But I came to love you, am I born to bleed?
Any of the time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh, oh, oh, I got a love that keeps me waiting
