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.
The night is so clear and there's a moon above
Kiss me so sweetly and I'm in love
So tell me, tell me, baby (tell me, tell me, baby)
What you gonna do (what you gonna do)
When your lover comes back? (when your lover comes back)
When your lover comes back?
It started as a plaything, didn't mean no harm
But now it's not a plaything when you take me in your arms
So tell me, tell me, baby (tell me, tell me, baby)
What you gonna do (what you gonna do)
When your lover comes back? (when your lover comes back)
When your lover comes back?
We had a quarrel, you left me so blue
I was just being kind to you, now I need you (I need you)
I need you (I need you) so bad
It started as a plaything, didn't mean no harm
But now it's not a plaything when you take me in your arms
So tell me, tell me, baby (tell me, tell me, baby)
What you gonna do (what you gonna do)
When your lover comes back? (when your lover comes back)
When your lover comes back? (when your lover comes back)
