[Intro]
Listen

[Chorus]
Somebody ought to write a book about it
Don't you know
I can't sleep at night about it
To me, there's no doubt about it, yeah
Somebody ought to write a book about it

[Verse 1]
There been many a story about love that's been told
But none know the heartaches that my story holds
It's filled with excitement, yeah, from beginning to the end
And every time I think about it, I have to say it again

[Chorus]
Somebody ought to write a book about it
Because I can't sleep at night about it
To me, there's no doubt about it (Yeah)
Somebody ought to write a book about it

[Verse 2]
If someone could write the feelings of thе heartaches and the pain
And thе long days and the lonely nights that I've spent in vain
Of the few happy moments through my life that she gave
And the way that she used to love me just to make me a slave
[Chorus]
Somebody ought to write a book about it
Don't you know
I can't sleep at night about it
To me, there's no doubt about it
Wait a minute now
Somebody ought to write a book about it

[Verse 3]
I think the last chapter in the book should talk about a man's pride
And how, when he walks upright, he has to run away and hide
And the way love can make him feel good
Even a-walkin' in the rain
That's the one day, but the next day, it can bring so much pain

[Chorus]
Somebody ought to write a book about it, no, no, no
I can't sleep at night about it
To me, there's no doubt about it
Somebody ought to write a book about it
To me, there's no doubt about it, no
I want you to know somebody ought to write a book about it

[Outro]
Say it again, girls
To me, there's no doubt about it
Somebody ought to write a book about it
I like that, ooh, say it again
To me, there's no doubt about it now
Wait a minute now
Somebody ought to write a book about it
