I Write The Songs Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

[Originally by Barry Manilow] 

I've been alive forever 

And I wrote the very first song 

I put the words and melodies together 

I am music and I write the songs 

I write the songs that make the whole world sing 

I write the songs of love and special things 

I write the songs that make the young girls cry 

I write the songs, I write the songs 

My home lies deep within you 

And I've got my own place in your soul 

Now when I look out through your eyes 

I am young again even though I'm very old 

[repeat chorus] 

My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance 

And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move 

Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start 

It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me 

It's a worldwide symphony 

[repeat chorus] 

Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream! 

I write the songs of love and special things 

I write the songs that make the young girls cry 

I write the songs, I write the songs 

I am music (music) and I write the songs 

Yeah
