An alternative power ballad
Well I put another dime in the cookie jar
You know my mama always said that I’d never get far
But will I get very far with you?
And my daddy always taught me right from wrong
He said “be a good man and just try to get along”
But well I ever get along with you?
Well I’ve done my time and I’ve drunk my wine
And I’m through making hay in the sun
Now I’m just a lonesome boy
And I’m looking for that special one
‘Cause I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
Just for you
And I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
For me and you
But the only thing that’s missing is a real love song takes two
And I threw another penny in the wishing well
In the hope that fate might cast the right spell
So I could have a little magic with you
But as the penny hit the bottom I realised
That a true, true love never really dies
Though it can sink without trace from view
Well I’ve done my time and I’ve drunk my wine
And I’m through making hay in the sun
Now I’m just a lonely boy
And I’m looking for that special one
‘Cause I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
Just for you
And I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
For me and you
But the only thing that’s missing is a real love song takes two
‘Cause I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
Just for you
And I, I could write a love song
I could write a love song
For me and you
But the only thing that’s missing is a real love song takes two
