Kelly is raising a son

His dad left just after the birth

Now she's living on child support checks

I guess that's all that man was worth



She says, "I just need a man who will love me

"But they all just want one night of sin

"I know my life could be better

"I just don't know where I should begin."



She said write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, they'll fly...



Beth, she sings straight from her heart

She's hidden her tracks very well

But these days she's falling apart

And it makes me feel just like hell



She said, "Boy, you can't imagine my life

"The death and the drugs and the pain

"And though I keep running

"I can't seem to break from these chains."



She said write me a song

And fill it all up with the words

Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time "I love you" was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly



We're all feeding our lonely

Like it might go away

The doors of heaven swing wide

If we just find the right words to say



She said write me a song

And fill it all up with the words

Like "brilliant" and "heavenly"

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time "I love you" was heard



And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, they'll fly...

She said write me a song

(Write me a song)

She said write me a song

(Write me a song)
