Write Me a Song

Kelly is raising her son His dad left just after the birth Now she's living on child support checks I guess that's all that man was worth She said I just need a man who will love me But they all just want one night of sin I know our life could be better I just don't know where I should begin She said write me a song One that makes all the girls cry And the old women swoon At the sound of my tune And the hearts of the lonely will fly Yeah, they'll fly Beth, she sings straight from the heart She's hidden her tracks very well But these days she's falling apart And it makes me feel just like hell She says, boy, you can't imagine my life The death and the drugs and the pain And though I keep running I just can't seem to break from these chains She said write me a song Fill it all up with words Like brilliant and heavenly Make it sound just like me Just like the first time I love you was heard And now write me a song One that makes all the girls cry And the old women swoon At the sound of my tune And the hearts of the lonely will fly We're all feeding our lonely Like it might go away The doors of heaven swing wide If we just find the right words to say She said write me a song Fill it all up with words Like brilliant and heavenly Make it sound just like me Just like the first time I love you was heard And now write me a song One that makes all the girls cry And the old women swoon At the sound of my tune And the hearts of the lonely will fly Yeah, fly She said write me a song She said write me a song She said write me a song She said write me a song
