The Wedding Singer movie - Everyday I Write the Book lyrics
rate meSong by Elvis Costello<br /><br>
Don't tell me you don't know what love is<br>
When you're old enough to know better<br>
When you find strange hands in your sweater<br>
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote<br>
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions<br>
<br>
[Chorus:]<br>
And I'm giving you a longing look<br>
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book<br>
<br>
Chapter One we didn't really get along<br>
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you<br>
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three<br>
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six<br>
<br>
[chorus]<br>
<br>
The way you walk<br>
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh<br>
In four or five paragraphs<br>
All your compliments and your cutting remarks<br>
Are captured here in my quotation marks<br>
<br>
[chorus]<br>
<br>
Don't tell me you don't know the difference<br>
Between a lover and a fighter<br>
With my pen and my electric typewriter<br>
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal<br>
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel<br>
<br>
[chorus]<br>
<br>
