This Boy
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.
That boy took my love away
Oh, she'll regret it someday
This boy wants you back again
That boy isn't good for you
Though he may want you too
This boy wants you back again
Oh, and this boy would be happy
Just to love you, but oh my
That boy won't be happy
Till he's seen you cry
This boy wouldn't mind the pain
Would always feel the same
If this boy gets you back again
This boy, this boy, this boy, this boy, this boy
