when i write the book

well i can remember

like it was only yesterday

love was young and foolish

like a little child at play

but oh how love has changed

i never knew how easily

now i'm just a shadow

of the boy i used to be

yeah yeah

and when i write the book

about my love

it will be about a man

who was torn in half

by his hope and ambition

wasted through the years

the man will be written

on every page in tears

when i write

when i write the book

when i write the book about my love

when i write the book about my love

i was a fool to my self

when i kept on running around

i've been a little better

oh when i tried settling down

maybe some magic moment

you never know but not for long

but all too soon the magic

was in a moment gone

and when i write the book

about my love

it will be a heart breaking story

about love and luck

and when i get down on the pages

all i have felt

it will make the hardest heart of the critics heart melt

when i write

when i write the book

when i write the book about my love

when i write the book about my love

when i was young love was fun

i was so happy

i looked so good

and i dressed so happy

two tone shoes on my feet

big old smile on my face

as i moved

moved

groved

all over the place

now i'm down on my luck

and my complexion is bad

because my love love life

is sadder than sad

and when i write the book

about my love

it will be a hard publication

tougher than tough

when i get down on the pages

all i've amassed

it will shoot to the top

of the bestsellers list

when i write

when i write the book

when i write the book about my love

when i write the book about my love

when i write the book

when i write the book about my love

when i write the book about my love
