You Can't Take Yourself
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.
If I listen to what people say
I wouldn't be here
And if I knew all the thing that I've done
I wouldn't have been having fun
So set me up against the wall
Let me feel strong
There's no such thing too much fun
Let's get together
Because you
You can't take yourself so seriously, you
But you can't take yourself so seriously, you
I come to you in open arms
Everybody's perfect
Everything is where it should be
I hope that you're with me
Now you've been feeling so much higher
Since we last saw you
Do you remember the times that we share together?
Because you
You can't take yourself so seriously, you
But you can't take yourself so seriously, you
You can't take yourself so seriously, you
But you can't take yourself so seriously, you
You
But you can't take yourself so seriously, you
You can't take yourself so seriously, you
But you can't take yourself so seriously, you
You can't take yourself so seriously, you
