Everyday I Write The Book Lyrics - The Return Of The Spectacular Spinning Wheel (live Cd) - Elvis Costello

Yeah, 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, 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 

And I'm giving you a longing look 

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday 

Everyday I write the book

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 

I'm giving you a longing look 

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday 

Everyday I write the book 

Everyday I write the book 

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 

I'm giving you a longing look 

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday 

Everyday I write the book
