Lyrics
Big Rat
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.
And there's something I've got
To tell you and I'm not
Sure how to put it in words
I had a feeling you might
Have guessed that something's not right
Maybe you've already heard
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Oh please don't start crying
I've not been lying
I just didn't tell you it all
We just talked but then she
Stopped smiling when she
Asked me to give her a call
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm a big rat, but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Why won't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me
I can't remember just what
Happened next but I'm not
Sure I even had any fun
Oh, she's amusing...
But I was so scared of losing you, well
After all that I've done
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I'm a big rat, but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Why don't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me
I'm a big rat, but I get scared
When you start talking like that
Oh why can't you see that she meant
Absolutely nothing to me
