Life is White Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't like to see your face
Don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann but I'd just get bored
Can't even bring myself to call

[Chorus]
And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you like
And I can't go back to that

[Verse 2]
Whatever's all the same
Now there's nobody to know
And I can't recall, recall your name
All I can say is so

[Chorus]
And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you like
And I can't go back to that

[Bridge]
Your life is white
And I don't think I like
You hanging around
[Verse 1]
Don't like to see your face
Don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be with Ann but I'd just get bored
Can't even bring myself to call

[Chorus]
And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you like
And I can't go back to that now

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 [?]
