Everyday I Write The Book Lyrics

[00:09.09] Yeah, don't tell me you don't know what love is
[00:23.12] When you're old enough to know better
[00:27.74] When you find strange hands in your sweater
[00:32.48] When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
[00:37.35] I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
[00:41.93] And I'm giving you a longing look
[00:46.53] Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
[00:50.48] Everyday I write the book
[00:56.15] Chapter one we didn't really get along
[01:00.55] Chapter two I think I fell in love with you
[01:06.27] You said you'd stand by me in the middle of chapter three
[01:10.03] But you were up to your old tricks in
[01:12.61] Chapters four, five and six
[01:14.81] And I'm giving you a longing look
[01:19.64] Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
[01:23.46] Everyday I write the book
[01:28.72] The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me
[01:34.12] And laugh in four or five paragraphs
[01:39.23] All your compliments and your cutting remarks
[01:43.21] Are captured here in my quotation marks
[01:47.87] I'm giving you a longing look
[01:52.52] Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
[01:56.53] Everyday I write the book
[02:02.53] Everyday I write the book
[02:06.88] Don't tell me you don't know the difference
[02:11.25] Between a lover and a fighter
[02:16.39] With my pen and my electric typewriter
[02:21.15] Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
[02:25.59] I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel
[02:30.28] I'm giving you a longing look
[02:35.08] Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
[02:38.68] Everyday I write the book
[02:41.60] Everyday, everyday, everyday
[02:43.73] Everyday I write the book
[02:45.57] Everyday, everyday, everyday
[02:47.86] Everyday I write the book, yeah
[03:01.16] Everyday, everyday, everyday
[03:04.21] Everyday I write the book
[03:06.44] Everyday, everyday
[03:08.32] Everyday I write the book
[03:10.17] Everyday, everyday
[03:13.01] Everyday I write the book
[03:15.25] Everyday, everyday
[03:18.08] Everyday I write the book
[03:22.13] ...
[03:29.39]
