I Really Do Write The Songs (Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: This One's For You - 1976)

You start off with the verse
That's the part that tells you
What the song is gonna to be about

You gotta grab a verse
Dope is good or death is nice
But love is still the best way out

And then you pad, and then you fill
Or you complain or get a chill
But most of all you move along to the center of the song

Yes that's the chorus
Singing for us
Never overlook giving it a hook
You see, sometimes I really do write the songs

And now the second verse
This is where you find out who's a creep
And who's a so and so

You're not allowed to curse
'Cause if you do they'll never play you on the AM radio
And then you build and speculate
And don't forget howargenate
But most of all you move along to the center of the song

And that's the chorus
Singing for us
Never overlook giving it a hook
You see, sometimes I really do write the songs

If you sing it to me once I could sing right back
If you sing it to me once I could sing right back
Sing it once, sing it back
Sing it once, sing it back

Love that chorus
Shove that chorus
Never overlook giving it a hook
You see, sometimes I really do write the oh what the hell
I write the songs
