I Wrote the Book - Eric Martin

You papa’s worried about you

Your ship is sinking

Love is on the rocks

And you ain’t thinking too clearly

Your knight in shining armor

Has double crossed you

Girl you need a hand

Save you from going under

Those silver tongue devils whisper in your ear

They only tell you what they think you want to hear

I’ve got the very thing that you’ve been missing

The kind of man you need, ain’t into kiss and telling

Cause when it comes to love I’m confessing, baby

I wrote the book about it here in black and white

I wrote the book about it, I lived every line

I wrote the book about it, I wrote the book about it

I wrote the book about the look that’s in your eyes

I wrote the book … of love

So you’ve been brokenhearted

This ain’t no funeral

Lose the heavy baggage

And close the door behind you

Blow out your birthday candles

Put on your finest

Dance with me forever

We’ll paint the town by numbers

I’m in no hurry I’ll take you real slow

All the way to heaven or somnewhere real close

A happy ending after all this time
