ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "Everyday I Write The Book"

Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
WHEN YOU FIND STRANGE HANDS IN YOUR SWEATER

When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look

Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book

Chapter One we didn't really get along

Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and

Six

The way you walk

The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks

Are captured here in my quotation marks

Don't tell me you don't know the difference

Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal

I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel
