How to Write a Love Song Lyrics

Capo: 6
The other versions overlooked a simple chord change in the finger picking in the song for the 4th and 5th
chords. I'm using a different capo to adjust for that. The hardest part is actually the first key change. If
you don't have a cutaway guitar, it may be difficult to play the D#.
Capo: 6
Gmaj7----|3XX432| or |3XX435|
Gmaj7/F#-|2XX432| or |2XX435|
Gmaj7/E--|0XX432| or |0XX435|
INTRO/VERSE 1
The 2 on the e string is also a 5 if you are playing the bells part.
CHORUS 1 (no guitar so just strum these chords)
CHORUS 2 (no guitar so just strum these chords)
SPOKENWORD-THING
(There's no guitar here either, just piano playing those two chords, Bm7 and F#m7)
Alternatively, I play:
CHORUS 3 (w/ Key Change)

Baby Girl, I wanna show you how much I really love you (How much I really love you)
Baby Girl, That's what I call you to show you that my love for you is true
Baby Girl, Our love is so great that I wrote you this song
and to show you how much I really care it sounds like every other one
The beat kicks in and then I sing a bit more rhythmically,
To make it sensual I sing it in a minor key
I move my hands like I'm pushing someone in front of me
Now that's the first verse and now I'm gonna take it to the bridge
I say something 'bout how I dont wanna break up, Then I turn around and rhyme it with
Make up. I tell you that we should be together (How Long?) Forever (That Long)
and Ever (So Long) Girl your always in my heart (In my heart) and I never want to be
apart (Never be apart) Honey you'll always be mine (Baby be Mine) Baby girl it's chorus time
This is how you write a love song
Yeah this is how you write a cliche love song
This is how you write a love song
Yeah a sh*tty 90's R n' B love song
This is my backup and he sings quite breathilly (Breathilly)
He takes the words I say and sings them after me (Sings em after me)
He emphasizes words and sings emphatically (I sing emphatically)
Bma7/E N.C. Gmaj7
Now listen to us sing in A Capella harmony
Now were back at the bridge I haven't written anything for
This. So I'm gonna stretch out the words
Repeating everything I say
Til I get (Til I get) Til I get (Til I get) Til I get (Til I get)Yeah til I get back to the chorus
This is how you write a love song
Yeah a sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty, sh*tty love song
And to show you I care I throw my hands in the air
N.C. Bm7 F#m
Now cut the music while I sing a long note
SPOKENWORD
Hey girl I've been standing at the back not doing much for this song
But that's because my talents are quite limited but that don't mean that I love you any less
In fact it means the opposite (Im just showing off my voice) its just it's so hard for me to find the words
To really express the way that I feel about you girl
Especially when I have to worry about fitting those words to music
And there's some kind of rhyme structure involved (Meaningless Whisper)
I know it's lazy song writing but I don't care
Cause I sleep on a big pile of money at night
Girl You might think it's weird, girl
That three guys are singing about just one girl, girl
But let me tell you something, girl, it's not weird at all
In fact, girl, It's an industry standard and it happens all the time (Happens all the time)
Well girl I better wrap this up about now cause I'm about to be cut off by- (Woah-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh)
Baby I wrote you a love song
It wasn't hard It really didn't take long
A totally generic love song
Yeah really this could be about anyone
But it's for you yeah this is your love song
Non-Specific girl
To let you know we take it seriously
Then watch as we change the key
When you change the key in a love song
It means your singing passionately
But We still haven't reached the end
No because were gonna go and change the key again
Look at me I'm singing a love song
Yeah anyone can sing a sh*tty love
Our love is so unique
That I copied every other sh*tty love song (Girl)
