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 whose 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
