lyrics
I wrote a song the other day, it didn't do me any good
The words didn't rhyme, the rhythm didn't sway like I hoped they would
The chorus wasn't catchy and the verses were all wrong
The best thing about it - it wasn't very long
Painted a picture the other day, it didn't do me any good
My straight lines went all astray, not even like they should
Even a blind man can see it's kind of lame
The best thing about it - it comes in a nice frame
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
Wrote a story the other day, it didn't do me any good
The letters got in each other's way, couldn't make them understood
The plot it was implausible, unbelievable my friend
The best thing about it - the last two words, The End
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
You won't find my masterpiece hanging on a nail
Or on the block at Sotheby's, it is not for sale
It'll never be a best seller or on the Hit Parade
Said I love you the other day, it didn't do me any good
But I won't change my loving ways even if I could
My masterpiece is your's to keep or to throw away
The best thing about it - I make a new one everyday
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
The words didn't rhyme, the rhythm didn't sway like I hoped they would
The chorus wasn't catchy and the verses were all wrong
The best thing about it - it wasn't very long
Painted a picture the other day, it didn't do me any good
My straight lines went all astray, not even like they should
Even a blind man can see it's kind of lame
The best thing about it - it comes in a nice frame
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
Wrote a story the other day, it didn't do me any good
The letters got in each other's way, couldn't make them understood
The plot it was implausible, unbelievable my friend
The best thing about it - the last two words, The End
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
You won't find my masterpiece hanging on a nail
Or on the block at Sotheby's, it is not for sale
It'll never be a best seller or on the Hit Parade
Said I love you the other day, it didn't do me any good
But I won't change my loving ways even if I could
My masterpiece is your's to keep or to throw away
The best thing about it - I make a new one everyday
The only thing I'm good at is loving you my dear
I get my inspiration each time you are near
My complete devotion is my field of expertise
My crowning achievement, it's my masterpiece
