i have to admit that i am one of the many who thought that a guitar would win him a lady my teenage years they were a feminine drought and i thought that a serenade would help out and it seemed to be working for a couple of years i wrote a few songs and they wrought a few tears but when i hit my twenties it ran out of steam i seemed to be suffering from romantic fatigue and i never know which song i should play her each melody is a memory of a not forgotten failure so when i get out my guitar tonight to do what i do remember i probably didnt write this song for you so as i have mentioned the shelf life was short the scheme wasnt working despite what i thought the ladies all left me alone in the end so i had to switch all the names around and then sing it again and every life long love and every best friend slipped away into the past take my words with caution i cant pretend that youre the first you wont be the last i never know which song i should play her each melody is a memory of a not forgotten failure so when i get out my guitar tonight to do what i do remember i probably didnt write this song no i certainly didnt write this song no i never never wrote a song for you1
