Once and Never Again
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.
nineteen, you're only nineteen for god's sake
you don't need a boyfriend
look what he's made you do to your arm again
he said he'd come round but he's gone out with his friends
and i know how it feels to be your age and feel the world is caving in
another drama by the kitchen sink tonight
you said you'd cut yourself whilt washing up the knives
another week off school won't do you any good
and i know how it feels to be your age
nineteen, you're only nineteen for god's sake
you don't need a boyfriend
come out with me and find out what you really want
come out to me, you only have to do it once
'cos i know how it feels to be your age, you only have to do it once and never again
you know i'm not so young...
i spend an hour getting ready every day
but still i end up looking more or less the same
but i could show you a thing or two
i could show you the ropes
yes, i could show you the ropes
and i will change my sheets for you
'cos i know how it feels
i know how it feels to be your age
i know how it feels to be your age
oh, how i want to feel a girl your age
