I WRITE THE SONGS 

I've been alive forever 
And I wrote the very first song 
I put the words and melodies together 
I am music and I write the songs 

I write the songs that make the whole world sing 
I write the songs of love and special things 
I write the songs that make the young girls cry 
I write the songs, I write the songs 

My home lies deep within you 
And I've got my own place in your soul 
Now when I look out through your eyes 
I am young again even though I'm very old 

(repeat chorus) 

My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance 
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move 
Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start 
It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me 
It's a worldwide symphony 

(repeat chorus) 

Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream! 
I write the songs of love and special things 
I write the songs that make the young girls cry 
I write the songs, I write the songs

MANDY 

I remember all my life 
Raining down as cold as ice 
Shadows of a man, a face through a window 
Crying in the night, the night goes into 

Morning, just another day 
Happy people pass my way 
Looking in their eyes I see a memory 
I never realized how happy you made me 

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without takin' 
But I sent you away 
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shakin' 
And I need you today, oh Mandy 

1,2,3,4, standing on the edge of time 
I walked away when love was mine 
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing 
Tears are in my eyes and nothing is rhyming 

(repeat chorus) 

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning 
Crying on the breeze, the pain is calling 

(repeat chorus) 

Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without takin' 
And I sent you away 
Oh Mandy, well you kissed me and stopped me from shakin' 
And I need you, yeah!
