Lyrics

(VERSE)
Everybody's doing it
So why can't I?
I'm sure if I look hard enough
I'm bound to find
Something to make you lay aside
Your $14.95

(CHORUS)
I'm writing a book
You're sure to read, oh yeah
And you will be hooked
On these pages from my life's diary

Now I'm looking back on my life
And there's nothing to write
And it seems less and less interesting
The harder I try
No fancy words could disguise
An ordinary guy

So I'll jump on a plane, or a bus, or a train
Never to be seen again
And they'll send out a party to search for me
Or whatever remains
And when they're all worried sick
I'll add the final kick
Oh, all the money I will earn
Whenever I return

I'm writing a book
You're sure to read, oh yeah
And you'll want to look through
All my dark and dirty deeds

(BRIDGE)
But I'm so scared of what you'll think of me
I'm giving up my privacy
So you can read
I'm giving up my privacy

I'm writing a book
I'm writing a book

But I'm so scared of what you'll think of me
