Jerry Butler - I Could Write A Book lyrics

rate me

I could write a book

About the way you hurt me

About you left me now

And filled my heart with misery

You could have made the chapter

The one I was after

Filled the whole book with laughter

But, girl, you chose to go

I don't know why

Heaven knows I could write a script

About how you changed my life

The script would be so hip

It might even win a prize

Girl, you've been a life line

A once in a lifetime love affair

But you didn't read it

To see what it needed

I don't believe you ever cared

I'm gonna make me a play

About how you went away

And said you were going to stray

The play would make Broadway

And I bet it would run

For about a thousand days

Cause people would say

You misused, Lord, you abused me

The whole world would see

That I love you alone

Hey, you walked off the stage

In such a rage

I wonder what in the world

Did I do wrong

I'm gonna make me a movie

And it's gonna be so groovy

My name would be filled to the brim

People would say, take a look at him

There he stands with a broken heart

You're gonna have a real heavy part

People will be in the audience crying tears

They're gonna make it the reel of the year

I know it's gonna get a nomination

Girl, cause you're getting a standing ovation

You really turn me on...<br />
