i'll just write my music and sing my songs

i've tried in every way i could to share my love

every girl i've ever known rearranged my love

i guess i'm not the kind of guy that turns the ladies on

so i'll just write my music and sing my songs

i'll just write my music and sing my songs

good or bad

weak or strong i'll write right on

cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong

so i'll just write my music and sing my songs

i'll write a song about heartache

cause heartache is my namesake

we've come to know each other so very well

and misery is my lover

it's closer than my brother

cause it runs in my bloodstream so deep and so mean

i've seen la

new orleans and new york town

i have yet one time to say that i have found

a love that's real

the kind that makes you feel like a soul is heaven-bound

heaven-bound

heaven-bound

heaven-bound

i'll write a song about heartache

cause heartache is my namesake. we've come to know each other so very well

and misery is my lover

it's closer than a brother

cause it runs in my bloodstream so deep and so mean

cause my melodies and my harmonies never turn out wrong

i'll just write my music and sing my songs

so i'll just write my music and sing my songs
