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 they don't 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 only 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 only don't test me

Heartbreak and there's 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 there's 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 only protest me

I wrote the book only protest me now

I wrote the book only.
