I Wrote The Book Lyrics - Singles - Beth Ditto

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 

The world is full of good intentions 

Paradise is hard to find 

Say they love you but they don't mention 

Who they were with again last night 

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 

It never stops around the clock 

When I'm there, you speak so soft 

The runaround will wear you out 

You break it off, I'll break you down 

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 

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 there's 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 there's 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
