I Wish You Would
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.
Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Come back, baby, I wish you would
Try and love me, you won't do no good
Walking and a-kissing late at night
I tell you now baby, I feel just right
Come now baby, whatcha trying to do?
Trying to love me and some other man, too
Come now baby, give me one more chance
You know I still love you, want to give you romance
All night long, in my arms, woah, yeah
Early in the morning, 'bout the break of day
That's when my baby went away
Come back, baby, I wish you would
Try and love me, you won't do no good
You know, baby, that I love you so
You know, pretty baby, it hurts me to see you go
