When I Write The Book

when i write the book (nick lowe/dave edmunds/billy bremner) 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 im 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 whos 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 - ive 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 itll 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 im 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 itll 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
