Don't Bother Me
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.
Since she's been gone I want no one to talk to me
It's not the same but I'm to blame, it's plain to see
So go away and leave me alone, don't bother me
I can't believe that she would leave me on my own
It's just not right when every night I'm all alone
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me
I know I'll never be the same
If I don't get her back again
Because I know she'll always be
The only girl for me
But 'til she's here, please don't come near, just stay away
I'll let you know when she's come home, until that the day
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me
I know I'll never be the same
If I don't get her back again
Because I know she'll always be
The only girl for me
But 'til she's here, please don't come near, just stay away
I'll let you know when she's come home, until that the day
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me
Don't bother me, don't bother me, don't bother me, don't bother me
