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
