Lyrics

I Wrote a Book

Will you come over tonight?

I need some inspiration for my story

I know it’s late, but if you come now

We’ll be done by two or three in the morning

And as you’re laying on your back

I will realize we’ve gone too fast

And then I’ll stop writing the book

Because the book, I realized, was boring

And when your parents find out where you’ve been

They’re gonna keep singing

They will keep singing, singing

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Do as we say, not as we do

Oh yeah

I will come over tomorrow

And get the rest of my stuff

I’ll give you a hug, tell you I love you

And that your love has meant so much

And then I’ll try to make you laugh

I will realize it’s all gone bad

And then I’ll turn and walk away, see you tomorrow

But I never will see you again

And when your parents find out where you’ve been

They’re gonna keep singing

They will keep singing, singing

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Oh, do as we say, not as we do

No, not as we do

Oh yeah, oh yeah!

And when your parents

When your parents find out where you’ve been

They’re gonna keep singing

They will keep singing, singing

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Shame, shame, shame on you

Shame on you

Oh, do as we say, not as we do
