She Came Along to Me Lyrics

[Verse]
Ten hundred books could I write you about her
'Cause I felt if I could know her, I would know all women
And they've not been any too well known
For brains and planning and organized thinking
But I'm sure the women are equal
And they may be ahead of the men

[Verse]
Yet I wouldn't spread such a rumor around
'Cause one organizes the other
And sometimes the most lost and wasted
Attract the most balanced and sane

And the wild and the reckless
Take up with the clocked and the timed
And the mixture is all of us and we're still mixing

[Bridge]
But never never never never could have it been done
If the women hadn't entered into the deal
Like she came along to me

[Verse]
And all creeds and kinds and colors of us are blending
Till, I suppose, ten million years from now
We'll all be just alike
Same color, same size, working together
And maybe we'll have all of the fascists out of the way by then
Maybe so

[Outro]
But never never never never could have it been done
If the women hadn't entered into the deal
Like she came along to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
