Lyrics
Sway
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.
Say whatever you have to say,
I'll stand by you
Do whatever you have to do,
To get it out and not become a reactionary
To hurt the ones you love
You know you never meant to but you did
Oh yeah you did
Be whoever you have to be, I won't judge you
Sing whatever you have to sing
To get it out and not become a recluse
About your house, come out
I know you never meant to but you did
Oh but you did
Still I need your sway
'Cause you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul
'Cause you're always soulful
And I, and I need your heart
'Cause you're always in the right places
And take whatever you have to take
You know I love you
And come however you have to come
And get it out and get it out
Take it out on me
Take it out on me
I'll give it you all
I give it you all, I give it
I give you all I give it you all
Yes I would give you all
'Cause I need your sway
'Cause you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul
'Cause you're always soulful
And I and I need your heart
'Cause you're always in the right places
Oh yes!
You know, I would give you all
Still I need your sway
'Cause you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul
'Cause you're always soulful
And I and I need your heart
'Cause you're always in the right places
