I got the dictionary in my hand But I cant seem to find the word Im looking for Ive checked every letter, now Im up to z There just aint anymore Ive 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 cant seem to get my pen to do the rest But I know it all by heart, chapter and verse Ill quote you any part, every word But its so deep inside it cant be heard Ive got the sunday paper in my hand And Ive been working on the weekly cryptogram I know theres a message in between the lines Thats the same way I am I got the crossword puzzle half complete But now I need another word four letters long Its just like the way I want a perfect fit I can settle for less but all of them are wrong There could be no jealousy over my poetry Its my weakest quality, no vocabulary I got the scrabble letters in a pile But there could never be enough to say it all I know you dont wanna hear the same old line So youll just have the read the writing on the wall
