Barry Manilow — I Really Do Write the Songs

You start off with the verse That's the part that tells you What the song is gonna to be about You gotta grab a verse Dope is good or death is nice But love is still the best way out And then you pad, and then you fill Or you complain or get a chill But most of all you move along to the center of the song Yes that's the chorus Singing for us Never overlook giving it a hook You see, sometimes I really do write the songs And now the second verse This is where you find out who's a creep And who's a so and so You're not allowed to curse 'Cause if you do they'll never play you on the AM radio And then you build and speculate And don't forget howargenate But most of all you move along to the center of the song And that's the chorus Singing for us Never overlook giving it a hook You see, sometimes I really do write the songs If you sing it to me once I could sing right back If you sing it to me once I could sing right back Sing it once, sing it back Sing it once, sing it back Love that chorus Shove that chorus Never overlook giving it a hook You see, sometimes I really do write the - oh what the hell I write the songs
