I been down And I been out And I been singing the blues But now I'm working on a love song Working on a love song It ain't all sad and lonely I'm humming a different tune I'm working on a love song Working on a love song You make my whole life a little brighter The lonely nights have come and gone When you're next to me I just might be The world's next big hit songwriter Working on a love song Working on a love song I ain't never been no poet But when I laid eyes on you I started working on a love song Working on a love song Baby turn out the light Stay all night Maybe help me with a line or two I'm working on a love song Working on a love song You make my whole life a little brighter The lonely nights have come and gone When you're next to me I just might be The world's next big hit songwriter Working on a love song Working on a love song You're my inspiration The paper and the pen The reason this song will never end 'Cause you make my whole life a whole lot brighter The lonely nights have come and gone When you're next to me I just might be The world's next big hit songwriter Working on a love song Working on a love song The world's next big hit songwriter Working on a love song Working on a love song
