Mr. Songwriter

Hey Mr. Songwriter

Write a song today

Sing to my baby

Who's going away

Leaving on the evening plane

To where I don't know

Give me a song so sad

That she won't want to go

Now I am the songwriter

And I heard what you said

I'm going to write a song for you

Although her love is dead

I know just how you feel

And still I have to say

That if it doesn't make her stop

Then I just turn away

I write the words

Make her cry

Make her sigh

Melody

To make her see

Tomorrow

But tomorrow she'll be gone

Hey Mr. Songwriter

Tell me what to do

She's gone away and left me now

For somebody new

I thought that I could change her mind

But maybe I was wrong

Hurry up and wet your pen

And please sir don't be long

I write the words

Make her cry

Make her sigh

Melody

To make her see

Tomorrow

But tomorrow was too late
