about

Written by Sophie Ball and Blain Weller. Piano by Blain Weller. Male Vocal by Jack Frankland.

lyrics

Doo doo doo doo doo doo..

So I sat down on my bed, got my guitar out of it's case,
and I tried to write a song about a man who fell from grace.
But I couldn't seem to manage.
No the words weren't ringing true.
And I just can't stop myself from writing love songs about you.

Then I tried to sing a tune that I was taught when I was young.
Oh the melody was sweet enough, but the words came out all wrong.
'Cause my head is just so heavy with you stuck in there like glue.
And I just can't stop myself from singing love songs about you.

Who wants to hear another song about your face?
About the kisses from your lips, or just some other old cliche?

Doo doo doo doo doo doo..

Now I'm trying hard to stop you running circles in my brain.
But every lyric that I hear contains the letters of your name.
Since you left me all I think of is the music we once knew,
and I just can't stop myself from hearing love songs about you.
