Rockpile lyrics : "When I Write the Book"

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
