The Wedding Singer movie - Everyday I Write the Book lyrics

rate me

Song 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>
