Kelly is raising a 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 says, "I just need a man who will love me
"But they all just want one night of sin
"I know my 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 her heart
She's hidden her tracks very well
But these days she's falling apart
And it makes me feel just like hell
She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life
"The death and the drugs and the pain
"And though I keep running
"Just can't seem to break from these chains."
She said, write me a song
And fill it all up with the words
Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"
Make it sound just like me
Just like the first time "I love you" was heard.
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
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
(Repeat Refrain 2 & Refrain 1)
She said, write me a song
(Write me a song)
She said, write me a song
(Write me a song)
She said, write me a song
(Write me a song)
She said, write me a song
(Write me a song)
