When I Write the Book
Well I can rememberLike it was only yesterdayLove was young and foolishLike a little child at playBut oh how love has changedI never knew how easilyNow I'm just a shadowOf the boy I used to beYeah yeahAnd when I write the bookAbout my loveIt will be about a manWho was torn in halfBy his hope and ambitionWasted through the yearsThe man will be writtenOn every page in tearsWhen I write, When I write the bookWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I write the book about my loveI was a fool to my selfWhen I kept on running aroundI've been a little betterOh when I tried settling downSongtexteMaybe some magic momentYou never know but not for longBut all too soon the magicWas in a moment goneAnd when I write the bookAbout my loveIt will be a heart breaking storyAbout love and luckAnd when I get down on the pagesAll I have feltIt will make the hardest heart of the critics heart meltWhen I write, When I write the bookWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I was young love was funI was so happyI looked so goodAnd I dressed so happyTwo tone shoes on my feetBig old smile on my faceAs I moved, moved, groovedAll over the placeNow I'm down on my luckAnd my complexion is badBecause my love love lifeIs sadder than sadAnd when I write the bookAbout my loveIt will be a hard publicationTougher than toughWhen I get down on the pagesAll I've amassedIt will shoot to the topOf the bestsellers listWhen I write, When I write the bookWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I write the bookWhen I write the book about my loveWhen I write the book about my love Aus Songtexte Mania
