Ringo Starr
"Write One for Me (duet with Willie Nelson)"

A young man strumming his guitar in the corner of a bar
Singing about a broken heart for hours and hours
By closing time I face the fact that if I had a gift like that
I know that I could win her back
But there's some things I can't do so now it's up to you

Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don't have the song so if you please
Tell her she's the right one for me

And It does no good for you to play a pretty song like 'Yesterday'
'Cause that's not what I need to say to get her to love me
And I'm too scared to tell her so, so if you'd be my Cyrano
And send to her a tune I know that she would change her mind
Take a little time and

Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don't have the song so if you please
Tell her she's the right one for me

If I could have a poem I would send one
But I don't have a pen I can't depend on
I can't come up with a single line
So would you write the song
And tell her that it's my mine, all mine

Write one for me
Put the perfect words together
Write one for me
A melody to last forever
I don't have the song so if you please
Tell her she's the right one for me
Tell her she's the right one for me
