Write Me A Song Lyrics

Kelly is raising her son

 His dad left just after the birth

 Now she's living on child support checks

 I guess that's all that man was worth

 

 She said I just need a man who will love me

 But they all just want one night of sin

 I know our life could be better

 I just don't know where I should begin

 

 She said write me a song

 One that makes all the girls cry

 And the old women swoon 

 At the sound of my tune

 And the hearts of the lonely will fly

 Yeah, they'll fly

 

 Beth, she sings straight from the heart

 She's hidden her tracks very well

 But these days she's falling apart

 And it makes me feel just like hell

 

 She says, boy, you can't imagine my life

 The death and the drugs and the pain

 And though I keep running

 I just can't seem to break from these chains

 

 She said write me a song

 Fill it all up with words

 Like brilliant and heavenly

 Make it sound just like me

 Just like the first time I love you was heard

 

 And now write me a song

 One that makes all the girls cry

 And the old women swoon 

 At the sound of my tune

 And the hearts of the lonely will fly

 

 We're all feeding our lonely

 Like it might go away

 The doors of heaven swing wide

 If we just find the right words to say

 

 She said write me a song

 Fill it all up with words

 Like brilliant and heavenly

 Make it sound just like me

 Just like the first time I love you was heard

 

 And now write me a song

 One that makes all the girls cry

 And the old women swoon 

 At the sound of my tune

 And the hearts of the lonely will fly

 

 Yeah, fly

 She said write me a song

 She said write me a song

 She said write me a song

 She said write me a song
