How can you use multiple lines in a text area? I'm probably missing something really simple here, but I can't seem to find it at all!

I want to have a text area for lyrics in my "Songs" content type.  Naturally, lyrics should be displayed one line per line, and with a space to distinguish verses, choruses etc... e.g.


  I got my head checked By a jumbo jet It wasn't easy But
  nothing is No
  
  Woohoo!


When I put the above in a text area, I get:

I got my head checked By a jumbo jet It wasn't easy But nothing is No Woohoo!

How do I get this to display correctly?  I am using Drupal 6.
Change the input format (just below the textarea) to Filtered HTML or Full HTML.
