4646 No, Google is not cheating, and I think we all use it as to lyrics, but I admit, I’m a little out of my depth too. This song is a round, which can get confusing as to which voices come in when. Maybe we should go with something a little more straightforward. Try this, @Pardel-Lux : Operator, well, could you help me place this call? ---

4649 A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated [I did not want to Google a song a did not even know, felt like rooting for a team in a bar just because the others are, even though you don’t know the team at all. But making sure the lyrics are right, yes, that is fair, I reckon.) ---
