I Wrote the Book

[Verse 1]

I put you up, I treat you well

Tell you secrets I never tell

We pretend it's all okay

But there's one thing we never say

[Pre-Chorus]

The world is full of good intentions

Paradise is hard to find

Say they love you, but fail to mention

Who they were with again last night

[Chorus]

Revenge, regret, I wrote the book

Forgive, forget, I wrote the book

Keeping secrets, I wrote the book on it

Don't test me

Heartbreak and then some

Tell me, where is a friend when you need one?

Before you take a second look

Remember, I know every trick in the book

[Verse 2]

It never stops around the clock

When I'm there, you speak so soft

The run-around will wear you out

You break it off, I'll break you down

[Pre-Chorus]

The world is full of good intentions

Paradise is full of lies

Tell you they love you, but fail to mention

Who they were with again last night

[Chorus]

Cheating, sneaking, I wrote the book

Begging, pleading, I wrote the book

Lying, crying, I wrote the book on it

Don't test me

Heartbreak and then some

Tell me, where is a friend when you need one?

Before you take a second look

Remember, I know every trick in the book

Heartbreak and then some

Tell me, where is a friend when you need one?

Before you take a second look

Remember, I know every trick in the book

[Outro]

I wrote the book

I wrote the book

I wrote the book on it, don't test me

I wrote the book on it, don't test me now

I wrote the book on it
