Lyrics
That's Not the Way That It's Done
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.
I saw you crying in the Quaker choir
They don't swing so low
There's no religion like old-time religion
It's a heavy snow
That puts you in the mood for love
And I was in the mood
But if I was stronger
You know I never would have hurt you that way
I fell into a hollow love
And that's not the way that it's done
I had to ring you 'cos the background singers really blew that night
Yes, I know you had a bluer side
But it's a real black light
That puts you in the mood for love
And I was in the mood
There's nothing worse than a narcissist working a disaster nurse
She ends up versus the goddamned center of the universe
Who's always in the mood for love
Always in the mood
