You're feeling good You're feeling bad But words don't satisfy You have to find another way to express what's inside You try to write a little poem but nothing comes out right Then you hear your favorite song and a flash comes to your mind "I know!" you say "I'll write a song!" was your inspiration For music captures what is lost in all human expression But "how to start?" "Where to begin?" This is all new to you Well listen up and listen good Cause here are some things to do You gotta write a chorus that'll make the girls go, awe! You gotta use your pa**ion sing about your love Ought to have a small joke Ha ha! And a line that doesn't rhyme? Well maybe your blind anger's what opens up your mind But the most important part of any song you write It's not the style, nor beat, nor tune it's not the clever words you use So what could it be? It's that it comes from the heart Whether good or bad the day it doesn't matter either way Just sing out what it is that you're feeling But remember this my friends that every song must reach it's end So sing lyrics that leave their minds reeling You got your guitar in your hand and you want to be her man Or maybe you've just got something to say Just pick up three or four chords I don't think you'll need anymore Then just let your fingers start to play away Sick guitar solo! So now you know just how to write a song to blow anyone's mind Make them think you're better at guitar than you really are So put your chin up and have some faith that you can get your feelings straight Write it down and practice up And then you win their hearts See, writing a song isn't so hard unless you're wearing a leotard If you want some more advice just go back and play this twice Or listen up to my final list
