If I Could Write A Love Song
Just a head full of dreams and a pocket full of bills
A heart full of miseries and a bottle full of pills
But I threw them all away and drew a sign:
"A dollar for a love song. Stand in line."
In ones and twos those lonely hearts stopped by
Shoulderless and lovelorn, desperate for just one more try.
For pocket change and sometimes not a dime,
I put my heart on paper. Stand in line.
Now you might think it's silly, girl, to sell my soul for pennies.
Every penny has its price, I know it's true.
But if you know what I'm doing, you'll forgive me
'Cause every word I write belongs to you.
If I could write a love song to every girl I met
I'd have no regrets. I swear it's true.
'Cause if I could sell a love song 'bout everything I've learned
Every penny that I earned would go to you.
From a home up on the rocks, above the waves
We'd watch our children laugh and grow and play
And though they'd never know the price we paid
Wouldn't it be nice to have someday?
And if I could write a love song to every girl I met
I'd have no regrets. I swear it's true.
'Cause if I can sell a love song to everyone I meet
Every penny that I see will go to you.
A heart full of miseries and a bottle full of pills
But I threw them all away and drew a sign:

Shoulderless and lovelorn, desperate for just one more try.
