Lyrics
Alyda
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.
(Georgia - Ahhh Ahh Ahhh)
Came the day you made your mind to put you down
Raised your voice and found it made a stronger sound
Chorus: Alyda, what have you done to you
Did confusion make you act that self assured
To take the step that you were not yet ready for
chorus
While you whiled away the hour
Do you still the way i knew
Do you dream of something better
Or just something else to do
He said how you hopped until your feet grew corns
Check for some reaction then just hop some more
chorus: Alyda, Alyda, Alyda - what have you done to you, to you,
to you
