OTHER COVERS

Mr. Writer

The first single from Just Enough Education To Perform. CD2 has three tracks from Kelly's solo acoustic tours at the end of 2000. The song was debuted on that same tour, where Kelly would hint at it being the first single.

Lyrics

You line ‘em up
Look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall
Then you shoot them all
You fly around in planes
That bring you down
To meet me who loves you
Like me crashing to the ground

Are you so lonely?
You don’t even know me
But you’d like to stone me

Mr. Writer
Why don’t you tell it like it is?
Why don’t you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home

I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I’d turn my back on you
Then you do what you do
You’ve just enough
In my own view
Education to perform
I’d like to shoot you all

And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know?

Mr. Writer
Why don’t you tell it like it is?
Why don’t you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home

And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you even know?

Mr. Writer
Why don’t you tell it like it is?
Why don’t you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
Mr. Writer
Why don’t you tell it like it really is?
Why don’t you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home
Mr. Writer
Why don’t you tell it like it really is?
Why don’t you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home
