You Wanted Love
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.
Yeah, you wanted love
But you don't know how to give love back
You say it's tough
Yeah, you always feel like you're coming under attack
Put on your heels and you paint your face
You put your mother right in her place
You wanted love
You needed love, love, love
But you won't get no love
You don't know how to love
No, you don't know how to love
Yeah, you want it all
You want it all laid right in your hands
You make a call
Yeah, you got a list with all your demands
You put on your dress on and paint your nails
Shotgun wedding in a county jail
You wanted love
Yeah, you needed love, love, love
But you won't get no love
You don't know how to love
No, you don't know how to love
But you won't get no love
You don't know how to love
No, you don't know how to love
No, you just don't know how to love
