I Wrote The Book

[Intro]
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)

[Verse 1]
Swear you're gonna leave and double back
Girl I've been there, done that
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)
When you can't get high without the hurt
Going downhill fast in reverse
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You say it feels like your dreams are dead and buried
When good luck's handed out, it seems you never get it
I love to be there for ya, but I've got worries of my own

[Chorus]
You talk about the bad times
How you're losin' your mind
Say you never felt so low
Well, I know, 'cause I wrote the book
Don't wanna steal the crown
But I'm the queen of down
I wrote the book

[Verse 2]
Life moves so slow it gathers dust
You wanna fly, but your wings have turned to rust
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know)
When every blessing's like a curse
Makes a good day bad, a bad day worse
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Got my own personal cloud that hides the sun
It's mother nature screaming out loud
You're nothing I know on
Yeah, my heart's bleedin' for you
We've all got troubles of our own, yeah

[Chorus]
You talk about the bad times
How you're losin' your mind
Say you never felt so low
Well, I know (I know), 'cause I wrote the book
Don't wanna steal the crown
But I'm the queen of down
I wrote the book (I wrote the book)

[Post-Chorus]
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Got my own personal cloud that hides the sun
It's mother nature screaming out loud
You're nothing I know on
Yeah, my heart's bleedin' for you
We've all got troubles of our own, yeah

Got my own personal cloud
That hides the sun
It's mother nature screaming out loud
You're nothing I know on
Yeah, my heart is bleeding, yeah
We all got troubles of our own, yeah

[Chorus]
You talk about the bad times (Hey)
How you're losin' your mind (Your mind)
Say you never felt so low
Well, I know (I know), 'cause I wrote the book (Oh yes, I did)
Don't wanna steal the crown (No, no, no)
But I'm the queen of down
I wrote the book (I wrote the book)

[Outro]
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
Yeah, yeah
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)
Yeah
I know that I'm the queen of down
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
(Do, do, do, do, do I)
Oh, I wrote the book
(Do, do, do, do, do, I know, I know)
