When I Write The Book Lyrics - Plan B - Huey Lewis & The News

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
