Things Don't Always Turn Out That Way
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 he can't sleep at night
And he can't do what's right
It was all because she came into his life
It's a deep obsession, taking up his time
(Chorus)
She's all that he wants, she's all that he needs
She's everything he just won't believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he's been dying to say
But the things don't always turn out that way
And he must confess
All the impure thoughts of his beautiful temptress
Although he keeps it all bottled up inside
Although he keeps it all safe within his mind, oh yeah
(Chorus)
She's all that he wants, she's all that he needs
She's everything he just won't believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he's been dying to say
But the things don't always turn out that way
So wipe that smile off your face
Before it gets too late
There's only so much time
For you to make up your mind
(Chorus)
She's all that he wants, she's all that he needs
She's everything he just won't believe
Take away his doubt, turn him inside out
Then she can see what he's been dying to say
But the things don't always turn out that way
