I Write the Songs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
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 way to start
It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me, it's a worldwide symphony
[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Outro]
I am music and I write the songs, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
