[Originally by Barry Manilow]
  I've been alive forever
  And I wrote the very first song
  I put the words and melodies together
  I am music and I write the songs
    I write the songs that make the whole world sing
  I write the songs of love and special things
  I write the songs that make the young girls cry
  I write the songs, I write the songs
    My home lies deep within you
  And I've got my own place in your soul
  Now when I look out through your eyes
  I am young again even though I'm very old
    [repeat chorus]
    My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
  And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
  Music fills your heart and that's a real fine place to start
  It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me
  It's a worldwide symphony
    [repeat chorus]
    Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream!
  I write the songs of love and special things
  I write the songs that make the young girls cry
  I write the songs, I write the songs
    I am music (music) and I write the songs
  Yeah
