  • Song Lyrics:
    Maybe I should give you some of the royalties to this song,
    'cause you sure did inspire me to write it.
    Maybe I should put your name in the lyrics somewhere
    'cause you sure did cause me to write it.

    You know as much of a lift as love songs are,
    they sure are hard to write.
    Just trying to do something. . .
    to get your attention.

    Maybe I should put your picture on the front of this song
    'cause you sure did cause me to write it.
    I'd tell em' how I met you in the coda of the song
    'cause you sure did cause me to write it.

    You know as much of a lift as love songs are,
    they sure are hard to write.
    Just trying to do something. . .
    (stand here, and pull up my overcoat like this)
    to get your attention.

    I tried real hard to make this song not sound like some other song I've written before.
    If I did it's because my style and style is based on limitations.
    I tried real hard not to make this song sound like some other song some other singer-songwriter might have written before.
    And if I did, that's 'cause it's music, and music is based on repetition.

    Now, maybe if you learn the words to this, your very own song
    The song you caused to be written.
    Maybe you'll sing it for somebody else that you love because you sure did cause it to be written.

    You know as much of a lift as love songs are,
    they sure are hard to write.
    Just trying to do something. . .
    to get your attention.
    (TotallySweet)
