You Bet Your Life
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.
Get a life, get a job,
Did you know you were the kind of slob
Who's in bed asleep all day
I used to be that way
Here and now, now and then
Although I never say out loud
Here and now, now and then
You know that there's a moment when
I could leave, get out now,
Get on and roll the world is big and round
Anytime, anyday, I used to think that way
Oh but I know it's true she's got a hold on you
And then half your life, it just went sailing by
Her whole world's intoxicating me
All my senses are at sea
She's the kind of girl, she's got you in a whirl
It gets so complicated
Me, I'm not proud, i'll say now the girl is
So frustrating, keeps me wishing
Keeps me waiting
Lost in this world like a child all at sea
You see your life drifting by but today's all you need
Here and now, now and then
Although I never say out loud
Here and now, now and then
You know that there's a moment when
Oh I just know it's true, she's got a hold on you
Oh and it feels so nice, this feels like paradise
You bet your life
