Kelly is raising her son

His dad left just after the birth

And now she's living on child support checks

I guess that's all that man was worth

She said I just need a man who will love me

But they all just want one night of sin

I know our life could be better

I just don't know where I should begin

Chorus:

She said write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

With 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 fallin' apart

And it makes me feel just like hell

She says, boy, you can't imagine my life

The death and the drugs and the pain

And though I keep running

I just can't seem to break from these chains

She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard

And now 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

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

She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard

And now 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, fly

She said write me a song

(She said write me a song)

She said write me a song

(She said write me a song)
