I got the dictionary in my hand, but I can't seem to find the word I'm looking for
I've checked every letter, now I'm up to Z, there just ain't anymore
I've got a million choices in my head, if I could only chose the one that says it best
I shelled out a quarter for a greeting card, now I can't seem to get my pen to do the rest
But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse, I'll quote you any part, every word
But it's so deep inside, it can't be heard
I've got the Sunday paper in my hand, and I've been working on the weekly cryptogram
I know there's a message in between the lines, that's the same way I am
I got the crossword puzzle half complete, but now I need another word four letters long
It's just like the way I want a perfect fit, I can settle for less but all of them are wrong
But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse, I'll quote you any part, every word
But it's so deep inside, it can't be heard
There could be no jealousy, over my, poetry, it's my weakest quality, no vocab-ulary
I got the scrabble letters in a pile, but there could never be enough to say it all
I know, you don't wanna hear the same old line, so you'll just have the read
The writing on the wall
But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse, I'll quote you any part, every word
But it's so deep inside, it can't be heard
But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse, I'll quote you any part, every word
But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse, I'll quote you any part, every word
