I Wrote the Book

[Verse 1]
I put you up, I treat you well
Tell you secrets I never tell
We pretend it's all okay
But there's one thing we never say

[Pre-Chorus]
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is hard to find
Say they love you, but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night

[Chorus]
Revenge, regret, I wrote the book
Forgive, forget, I wrote the book
Keeping secrets, I wrote the book on it
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

[Verse 2]
It never stops around the clock
When I'm there, you speak so soft
The run-around will wear you out
You break it off, I'll break you down

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Cheating, sneaking, I wrote the book
Begging, pleading, I wrote the book
Lying, crying, I wrote the book on it
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
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

[Outro]
I wrote the book
I wrote the book
I wrote the book on it, don't test me
I wrote the book on it, don't test me now
I wrote the book on it
