the lyrics : the manuscript is finished and i believe i 've done it again another masterpiece of fiction written in my hand with my pen but the name on the cover is yours and not mine it 's always been this way but it 's no longer fine refrain : do n't write me off i would n't do that to you i just want to make sure i get credit where it 's due this arrangement is n't fair why are n't you ashamed that i write all the words and you get all the fame ?
