Lyrics
Sitting alone, not sure what to do,
Can't think of a way to get through to you,
I've written you letters, I've slept in your bed
I return your phone calls, you're stuck in my head
I'm looking for answers, I know what I'll do
I'll take up my pen and write a song for you
I'm keeping it simple, I'm keeping it slow
When I see you I'll sing it, and then you will know
Sometimes you play dumb, sometimes you think that you're right
Sometimes you come home, sometimes you stay out all night
Sometimes you're not hungry, sometimes you eat like a pig
Sometimes your glass is half-empty, sometimes the cup is too big
I'm sorry I missed you when you were town,
I wanted to see you, but you weren't around
I went to the party, I shouted your name
I heard you were there, but I don't think you came
I got really bored, but I decided to stay
I found a guitar and I started to play
I sang them your song and the party just stopped
I sang them your song and I saw their jaws drop
Sometimes you wear perfume, sometimes you spray mace
Sometimes you're running in circles while you're standing in place
Sometimes you want my devotion, sometimes you ask me to hide,
Sometimes you expect things that you know I can't provide
I'm sorry that I haven't written or phoned
Now I'm in the spotlight from a complete unknown
I put out an album, it wasn't that good
But my fans all loved it, I knew that they would
For it had a song, one that came from the heart
I wrote it for you and now I’m a star
Let's get together next time I'm at home
I'll sing you this song when you and I are alone
Sometimes you're lost, sometimes you know just what to do
Sometimes you eat dolphin, sometimes you order tofu
Sometimes you're quiet, sometimes you never shut up
Sometimes I think I'm falling deeply in love
Sometimes you're filthy, and sometimes you're clean
Sometimes you use your hands, sometimes you use a machine
Sometimes you take me for walks, sometimes you leave me in my cage
Sometimes you're different and sometimes you never change
I live in a mansion, I have a personal chef
I play your song in arenas and I'm going deaf
I wrote you a song to try to tell you true
I wrote you a song but I'm still feeling blue
I drive a sportscar, I just bought two
Because I wrote this song for you
I shower in seltzer, I bathe in dew
Ever since I wrote a song for you
I go to award shows, I wear designer shoes
All because I wrote a song for you
I meet celebrities and I date them too
Ever since I wrote a song for you
I asked my assistant to call you again
I wish you’d come see me or pick up your pen
I remember times when it was just us, too
I wonder if you’ve heard my song for yo
