If We Can't Have You
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.
Hang a picture up on your wall
Tighten all the nails so it don't fall
In this picture, could have been a picture of my face
Something painful, went and took it's place
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
Drink your coffee in the morning,
And at night, go and drink your beer
All along you don't feel so welcome here
And I walk by, and you steer clear
You always said, it'd come passionate here
Don't like what you see, you don't like what you hear
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
