Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - I Write The Songs lyrics

rate me

[Originally by Barry Manilow]

I've been alive forever

And I wrote the very first song

I put the words and melodies together

I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you

And I've got my own place in your soul

Now when I look out through your eyes

I am young again even though I'm very old

[repeat chorus]

My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance

And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move

Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start

It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me

It's a worldwide symphony

[repeat chorus]

Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream!

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music (music) and I write the songs

Yeah
