Lyrics

Well I had kind of a bad week
Heck it?s been a dreadful month
My girlfriend the musician said she?d had enough
No I haven?t been unfaithful or in any way unkind
But I do admit her birthday kind of slipped my mind yeah

I was a dollar short and a few days late for the third year in a row
So she stormed out in a great big pout as I called out the door hey

If you decide to write a hit song
Keep the verses short make the chorus strong
Clever lyrics sell the story
But don?t use my name if you write about me
No don?t use my name if you write about me

It?s no good to be forgetful so I keep my own datebook
And I know I had her birthday written down but I forgot to look
So I guess that my true feelings were plain as day to see
At least that?s what my girlfriend thought ?cause she said so long to me

I was a dollar short and a few days late for the third year in a row
So she stormed out in a great big pout as I called out the door hey
If you decide to write a hit song
Keep the verses short make the chorus strong
Clever lyrics sell the story

But don?t use my name if you write about me
No don?t use my name if you write about me

We had the kind of fight where both sides think they?re right
So no one moves an inch
But I meant what I said when she told me goodbye

If you decide to write a hit song
Keep the verses short make the chorus strong
Clever lyrics sell the story
But don?t use my name if you write about me
No don?t use my name if you write about me

?cause I?d like to keep my privacy
So no interviews with magazines
unless you want to hear from my attorney
No, don?t use my name if you write about me
