[Verse 1]
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 dreamed how easily
For now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
Oh yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And when I write the book about my love
It will be about a man who was torn in half
About his hope and ambition wasted through the years
The pain will be written on every page in tears
Oh, 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)
[Verse 2]
I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin' around
And I fared little better when I tried settling 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
[Chorus 2]
And when I write the book about my love
It'll be a heartbreaking story of bad luck in love
When I get down on the pages all I felt
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics' heart 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)
[Verse 3]
When I was young, love was fun, and I was so happy
I looked so good, I dressed so snappy
Two-tone shoes on my feet, big old smile on my face
As I moved, grooved, grooved 'round over the place
Now I'm down-at-heel and my complexion is bad
Because my love life is sadder than sad
[Chorus 3]
But 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)
[Outro]
Thousand words a day, easily (When I write the book)
Oh, when I write the book about my love (When I write the book)
The world will be a puppet's happy dream [?] (When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
