Everyday I Write the Book

Everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Everyday I write the book
Everyday, everyday
I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday

Everyday I write the book
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of chapter three

When you find strange hands in your sweater
Everyday, everyday
Don't tell me you don't know the difference

Everyday I write the book
And laugh in four or five paragraphs
Everyday I write the book

And I'm giving you a longing look

Everyday I write the book
Everyday I write the book
Between a lover and a fighter
Everyday I write the book
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me
Are captured here in my quotation marks
With my pen and my electric typewriter
I'm giving you a longing look
Chapter one we didn't really get along

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
Chapter two I think I fell in love with you
Everyday I write the book, yeah
Everyday I write the book

I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel
Everyday I write the book
Chapters four, five and six
But you were up to your old tricks in
Everyday I write the book
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
