When I Write the Book Lyrics
Now I can remember like it was only yesterday
Love was young and foolish like a little child at play
But oh how lovers change, I never dreamed how easily
'cause now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
And when I write the book about my love
It will be about a man who's torn in half
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
The pain will be written on every page in tears
When I write the book about my love
I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin' around
And I fared little better when I tried settlin' down
Maybe some magic moment, I've never known one, not for long
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone
And when I write the book about my love
It'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
When I get down on the pages all I felt
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics' hearts melt
When I write the book about my love
When I was young love was fun and I was so happy, I looked so good and I dressed so snappy
Two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face, as I moved and grooved all over the place
Now I'm down in the heels my complexion is bad
'cause my love life is sadder than sad
And 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 the book about my love
Love was young and foolish like a little child at play
But oh how lovers change, I never dreamed how easily
'cause now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
It will be about a man who's torn in half
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
The pain will be written on every page in tears
When I write the book about my love
And I fared little better when I tried settlin' down
Maybe some magic moment, I've never known one, not for long
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone
It'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
When I get down on the pages all I felt
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics' hearts melt
When I write the book about my love
Two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face, as I moved and grooved all over the place
Now I'm down in the heels my complexion is bad
'cause my love life is sadder than sad
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 the book about my love

Well in my book, guys like this didn’t miss anything they were just too selfish to see what they had and what was in front of them that’s all. But it’s a big one. They put too much stock in beauty and material things and having fun instead of what is in the heart and who loves them and who stood by them and years invested with someone and it is very very sad. Sometimes they die never ever realizing A thing about true love but they sure do create an awful lot of pain and sadness that they inflict on spouses and children. They keep looking for something that’s not there for a person that’s not there because they just don’t get the concept of what love is that is why they never find it. Some people have the misconception that the beginnings of every relationship, how it is so exciting, has that it must stay like that or the love is gone but that is not the truth. That is just the nervousness of not knowing the person yet And the excitement of not knowing someone new but people just don’t get that they’re just not taught that they haven’t learned it by watching their parents because their parents have a terrible relationship or cheat or they don’t have two parents etc. etc. my parents have always taught us the best and so I am going to be the best and be with the best person like my parents’ example so my kids don’t do this to their kids and So on. Most likely children End up like their parents and I don’t wanna give that to my children. Cheating on your spouse get to nowhere you end up with no spouse no family and eventually you end up with no one. It’s sad all the way around it doesn’t do anything but her everyone involved.
