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.

Look at yourself

If you had

Sense of humor

You would laugh

To beat the band

Look at yourself

Do you still believe

The rumor

That romance

Is simply grand?

Since you

Took it right

On the chin

You have lost

That bright

Toothpaste grin

My mental state

Is all a-jumble

I sit around

And sadly mumble

Fools rush in

So here I am

Very glad

To be unhappy

I can't win

But here I am

More than glad

To be unhappy

Unrequited love's

A bore

And I've got it

Pretty bad

But for someone

You adore

It's a pleasure

To be sad

Like a straying

Baby lamb

With no mammy

And no pappy

I'm so unhappy but

Oh, so glad
