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

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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
