Pop Song

POP SONG

I wanna write a pop song
Three minutes and it's too long
Just three chords can take us far
Riffs you can play on air guitar
Simple beat to make you tap your feet and
Simple words that you can repeat

But stuff creeps that I want to say
It just comes out that way
Things that hit me every single day
But before it turns to black
And I become a maniac
I try get my pop song back on track
Pop pop pop pop pop

I know what you're looking for
So I'll stay well clear of metaphor
And write a pop song, baby
'cos you like me saying 'baby'
So here it is, baby
Here's my pop song, baby

This change of heart it may not last
Pop songs wear out really fast
Twenty words and three chords feel so thin
A formula that's often bought
Where's the substance where's the thought
Should I throw this pop song in the bin
Pop pop pop pop pop

This might well be a pop song
An easy tune and the beat's strong
But squeeze in just one extra word
And people say you're being absurd
So to keep it sweet and keep it fine
I'll draw the line at two minutes fifty-ni
