Lyrics

The ad said I could solve all of my problems if I bought this book
30 dollars and five more for handling was all it took
Well I sat there till my eyes turned red
But all I got was a pain in my head
?Cause there ain?t no words on a printed page
That?ll ever get me over all the mess I made

Got to the chapter on how to survive if you lost your love
Drank a toast to my inner child over a case of Bud
I analyzed my feelings
Found out that I wasn?t from Venus
But there was nothing I could do
?Cause there ain?t no book on you

There ain?t no book tells me how to act
What to do or say to get you back
Now I?m sitting here staring at my shoes
Trying to find a way just to shake these blues

No life-affirming words I could ever say
Would make me forget the look on your face
The tears in my eyes when you said we?re through
No there ain?t no book on you

The book said to compile a list of my greatest faults
You were so much better at reminding me of ?em
So I gave you a call
Heard your voice and forgot my pride
You hung up, and I broke down and cried
Because there?s nothing I can do
There ain?t no book on you

(Chorus)
