I Wrote the Book

I put you up, I treat you well Tell you secrets I never tell We pretend, it's all ok But there's one thing we never say The world is full of good intentions Paradise is hard to find Say they love you but fail to mention Who they were with again last night Revenge, regret - I wrote the book Forgive, forget - I wrote the book Keeping secrets - I wrote the book on it Don't test me Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book It never stops around the clock When I'm there, you speak so soft The runaround will wear you out You break it off, I'll break you down The world is full of good intentions Paradise is full of lies Tell you they love you but fail to mention Who they were with again last night Cheating, sneaking - I wrote the book Begging, pleading - I wrote the book Lying, crying - I wrote the book on it Don't test me Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book Heartbreak and then some, tell me where is a friend when you need one Before you take a second look, remember I know every trick in the book I wrote the book I wrote the book I wrote the book on it Don't test me I wrote the book on it Don't test me now I wrote the book on it
