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

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 

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 music makes you dance 
And gets your 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 

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 (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
