Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
I love you in the songs I write and sing
Love you because
You put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS checks
That you bring
[Verse 2]
Cheap
Never cheap
I'll sing you songs till you're asleep
And when you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down down down down
[Verse 3]
Oh Shirley, oh Deborah, oh Julie, oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name
I forget your name
[Verse 4]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
[Verse 5]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name
[Verse 6]
I love you from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry
[Verse 7]
Deep
So deep
The number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep
So cry, lovey, cry
Cry, cry, cry
[Verse 8]
Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Philippa, oh Sue
You made me so much money
I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for you
[Verse 9]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too
I wrote this song for you
[Verse 10]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue (For you)
Deborah, Annabel, too
[Verse 11]
Oh Cathy, oh Alison, oh Philippa, oh Sue
You made me so much money
I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for you
[Verse 12]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue
Deborah, Annabel, too
I wrote this song for you
[Verse 13]
Jennifer, Alison, Philippa, Sue (For you)
Deborah, Annabel, too
[Verse 14]
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
I wrote this song for you
[Verse 15]
So, let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night by the typewriter light
Ripped his ribbons to shreds
Late at night by the typewriter light
She ripped his ribbons to shreds
[Verse 16]
So let me talk about Mary a sad story
I turned her grief into glory
Talk about Mary a sad story
I turned her grief into glory
[Verse 17]
Late at night by the typewriter light
Ripped his ribbons to shreds
Late at night by the typewriter light
Ripped his ribbons to shreds
[Verse 18]
Oh, let me talk about Mary a sad, sad, sad story
I turned her grief into glory
Let me talk about Mary a sad story
I turned her grief into glory
[Verse 19]
Late at night by the typewriter light
Ripped his ribbons to shreds
Late at night by the typewriter light
Ripped his ribbons to shreds
[Verse 20]
I wrote this song for you
