I Could Write A Book |
| I could write a book |
| About the way you hurt me |
| About you left me now |
| And filled my heart with misery |
| You could have made the chapter |
| The one I was after |
| Filled the whole book with laughter |
| But, girl, you chose to go |
| I don’t know why |
| Heaven knows I could write a script |
| About how you changed my life |
| The script would be so hip |
| It might even win a prize |
| Girl, you’ve been a life line |
| A once in a lifetime love affair |
| But you didn’t read it |
| To see what it needed |
| I don’t believe you ever cared |
| I’m gonna make me a play |
| About how you went away |
| And said you were going to stray |
| The play would make Broadway |
| And I bet it would run |
| For about a thousand days |
| Cause people would say |
| You misused, Lord, you abused me |
| The whole world would see |
| That I love you alone |
| Hey, you walked off the stage |
| In such a rage |
| I wonder what in the world |
| Did I do wrong |
| I’m gonna make me a movie |
| And it’s gonna be so groovy |
| My name would be filled to the brim |
| People would say, take a look at him |
| There he stands with a broken heart |
| You’re gonna have a real heavy part |
| People will be in the audience crying tears |
| They’re gonna make it the reel of the year |
| I know it’s gonna get a nomination |
| Girl, cause you’re getting a standing ovation |
| You really turn me on… |
