Tears
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.
Watch you dancing underground
It's not to synchronizing sound
What'cha you gonna do when your money comes through
Gonna look about, shop around
Your best friend has moved away
Wouldn't stay another day
What's he gonna do when his words run out
And there's nothing left to say
(Chorus)
You're putting your smiling face
And you're dressing up with style and grace
But your tears you just can't hide
Now you're wondering what to wear
Cutting off your long black hair
What'cha you gonna do when the money comes through
Gonna buy yourself a silver spear
You say exactly what you think
Battles with your pen and ink
What'cha you gonna do when the tide has turned
Well I hope that you won't sink
(Repeat Chorus)
See you stepping high and dry
Dressed in blue so you won't cry
What'cha you gonna do when he comes out
Gonna make up your own mind
(Repeat Chorus)
Tears you just can't hide
Tears you just can't hide
Tears you just can't hide
Tears you just can't hide
Tears you just can't hide
No, no, tears you just can't hide
