Lyrics
You Can't Only Love When You Want
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'm sure she was an angel
Cause i've seen one before
She said let me play you a song
That i know
I asked her where she learned the song
She said she'd learned from townes
But to no one alone does it belong
You try never to trust someone
Cause why should you
But you do
Just as soon
As love tells you to
Lucky you love best when it hurts you
No you can't only love when you
Want to
That's how i lost her
I'm sure of it now
That's how i'll lose you
Unless somehow
If nothing else ever
Happens to you
I will and that will be
Enough.
