Текст песни
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 knew how easily
Now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when I write the book about my love
It will be about a man who was torn in half
By his hope and ambition wasted through the years
The pain will be written on every page in tears
When I write (When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
(When I write the book about my love)
I was a fool to myself when I kept on running around
I felt a little better when I tried settling down
Maybe some magic moment, you never know but not for long
But all too soon the magic was in a moment gone
Oh yeah
And when I write the book about my love
It will be a heartbreaking story of bad love and luck
When I get down on the pages all I've found
It will make the hardest hearted of the critics hearts pound
When I write (When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
(When I write the book about my love)
When I was young, love was fun, I was so happy
I looked so good and I dressed so snappy
Two-toned shoes on my feet, big old smile on my face
As I move, move, grooved 'round over the place
But now I'm down on my luck and my complexion is bad
Because my love life is sadder than sad
When I write the book about my love
It will be a hard publication, tougher than tough
When I get down on the pages all I've missed
It will shoot to the top of the best sellers list
When I write (When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
(When I write the book about my love)
Oh, a thousand words too easily
(When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
(When I write the book about my love)
(When I write the book)
When I write the book about my love
