What Will I WriteEddie Rabbitt

Songwriter: David Malloy Even Stevens Eddie Rabbitt

Producer: David Malloy

What will I write on this piece of paper?
How can I tell her I don't love her anymore?
What can I say to break it to her gently?

Words
They don't come easy
To my mind like before

Where are the words
That once felt like honey from my lips?
When I was so eager for your kiss

And we were falling in love
Where are they now?
Now that I need the very best
Not that they'll hurt her any less

But what will I write to tell her that's it's over?
And that it's not another
That's taken me away

What can I say to break it to her gently?
They just don't come easy
When there's nothing left to say

Where are the words
That once felt like honey from my lips?
When I was so eager for your kiss

And we were falling in love
Where are they now?
Now that I need the very best
Not that they'll hurt her any less

What will I write on this piece of paper?
