Gotta Write Love Songs
© 2012 Melody Walker

I listened for love, yeah, I listened so long
‘Cause that’s what I heard on the radio song
I listened forever, and love never came
So I picked up my guitar, and here’s what I sang

How can I love, when I learned to love wrong
All the radio-tv’s just one big love song
Oh, you love it, you leave it, or you throw it away
But you’ve gotta write love songs, least that’s what they say

I’ll write you a want-ad, I’ll write it today
I’ll cut it to record and send it your way
‘Cause it’s so hard to listen, if the song is too sad
So I’ll write you a song about the love we never had

How can you love, when you can’t even cry
All the radio-tv’s just one big lie
Oh, you love me, you leave me, or you throw me away
But you’ve got to write love songs to get any play

Well I was lookin’ for someone, with love to spare
To jump-start this heart long stalled in the air
I was lookin’ to fall, yeah I wanna fall hard
Oh come on gimme a reason to let down my guard

Oh your eyes were so red and your lips were so blue
It took half of my heart just to resuscitate you
Well, we checked all our vitals once we had awoken
Our bodies were fine, but our hearts were broken

How can I love…

How can you love…

You’ve gotta write love songs…
