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 lovers change, I never dreamed how easily
 For now I'm just a shadow, of the boy I used to be
 Oh yeah yeah
 And when I write the book about my love
 It will be about a man who wass torn in half
 About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
 The pain will be written on every page in tears
 When I write (When I write the book)
 Oh when I write the book about my love
 (When I write the book about my love)
 I was a fool to myself, when I kept on runnin' around
 And I fared little better, when I tried settlin' down
 Maybe some magic moments, have I known but not for long
 For all too soon the magic, was in a moment gone
 Oh yeah yes
 And when I write the book about my love
 It'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
 When I get down on the pages all I felt
 It will make the hardest-hearted of critics' hearts melt
 When I write (When I write the book)
 Oh when I write the book about my love
 (When I write the book about my love)
 When I was young, love was fun and I was so happy
 I looked so good and I dressed so snappy
 Two-tone shoes on my feet, big old smile on my face
 As I moved and grooved all over the place
 Now I'm down in the heels my complexion is bad
 Because my love life is sadder than sad
 And when I write the book about my love
 It'll be a pop publication, tougher than tough
 When I get down on the pages all I missed
 It will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list
 When I write (When I write the book)
 Oh when I write the book about my love
 (When I write the book about my love)
 A thousand words a day, usually
 (When I write the book)
 Oh when I write the book about my love
 (When I write the book about my love)
