I put you up  I treat you well
Tell you secrets I never tell
We pretend  it's all okay
But there's one thing we never say
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is hard to find
Say they love you but they don't mention
Who they were with again last night
Revenge  regret  I wrote the book
Forgive  forget  I wrote the book
Keeping secrets  I wrote the book on it don't test me
Heartbreak and then some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book
It never stops around the clock
When I'm there  you speak so soft
The run around will wear you out
You break it off  I'll break you down
The world is full of good intentions
Paradise is full of lies
Tell you they love you but fail to mention
Who they were with again last night
Cheating  sneaking  I wrote the book
Begging  pleading  I wrote the book
Lying  crying  I wrote the book on it don't test me
Heartbreak and there's some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book
Heartbreak and there's some
Tell me where is a friend when you need one
Before you take a second look
Remember I know every trick in the book
I wrote the book  I wrote the book
I wrote the book on it don't test me
I wrote the book on it don't test me now
I wrote the book on it
