I Will Never Write an Obligatory Song About Being on the Road and Missing Someone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take this pen to paper
Like a virgin, enthralled by the danger
Poetry was never this real to me
When I was too far gone to save her

[Bridge]
Oh, Lordy!
The sun is coming up!
A marshmallow into a cloud!
I'll never shut up again!
I'm fucking disavowed

[Verse 2]
Take this pen to paper
In a sick van with four total strangers
I am lost, cos freedom has its cost
My box is full, I'll call you later

[Chorus]
I want my baby back!
I want my baby back!
I miss you, miss you
I want my baby back!
I want my baby back!
I miss your kiss, I miss you
[Bridge 2]
I was hoping
You were open
But you were not
I missed my shot
But then you called me
Love befalled me
I never knew
I never knew it was you

[Chorus]
I got my baby back!
I got my baby back!
I miss you, miss you
I got my baby back!
I got my baby back!
I miss your kiss, I miss you

[Bridge 3]
And, I got you back!
And, I got you back!
And, I got you back!
And, I got you
Got you
Back!
[Outro]
Take this pen to paper
Watch me take this pen to paper, whoa!
I take this pen to paper
Watch me take this pen to paper, whoa!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
