Intro

A9—D9--; (2x)

 Kelly is raising a son

 His dad left just after the birth

 Now she's living on child support checks

 I guess that's all that man was worth.

 She says, "I just need a man who will love me

 "But they all just want one night of sin

 "I know my life could be better

 "I just don't know where I should begin."

Refrain 1

 She said, “write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

 And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

 And the hearts of the lonely will fly

  ————

Yeah, they'll fly...”

 Beth, she sings straight from her heart

 She's hidden her tracks very well

 But these days she's falling apart

 And it makes me feel just like hell

 She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life

 "The death and the drugs and the pain

 "And though I keep running

 "Just can't seem to break from these chains."

Refrain 2

 She said, “write me a song

 And fill it all up with the words

 Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"

 Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time "I love you" was heard.

Refrain 3

 She said, “write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

 And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

 And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Bridge

 We're all feeding our lonely

 Like it might go away

 The doors of heaven swing wide

 If we just find the right words to say

(Repeat Refrain 2 & Refrain 1)
