You Tore Me Down
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.
Everybody knows
That you've been untrue
You've gone and broke my heart
And made me blue
Turned my head around
Then you tore me down
If I had a choice
I'd not be sad
'Cause when I hear your voice
It makes me mad
Baby's not around
But she's leaving town
Baby, baby
Don't run away
I want you to stay
I'm sorry
So sorry
I made you blue
And now you should be sorry too
Should be sorry too
Now I'm so alone
You're far away
I sit here at home
No words to say
To anyone around
'Cause you tore me down
Tore me down
Tore me down
Tore me down
