[Verse 1] (soft, whispered, close-mic) Hey Mr. Song Maker These are beautiful songs, each and every one But I can tell something, Mr. Song Maker Something has got you down [Verse 2] Mr. Song Maker, you've got a song for everybody So why not you? Didn't you think that you would need one too? Mr. Song Maker, why didn't you ever stop to think Maybe take a moment, take some care for yourself Maybe take a moment to plan ahead Cause Mr. Song Maker, can't you just write yourself a song? [Chorus] (warm, open) It seems so strange to pour out your words for others When you don't save any words for yourself When it comes to others, your cares are many, but what's left on your shelf? Did you leave yourself any love, Mr. Song Maker? Oh why, oh why, did you leave any love? Mr. Song Maker, can you tell me, did you leave any love? [Verse 3] You sit on your perch like a bird Waiting for your mate to come home And just like that bird, you won't stay quiet till it's done But Mr. Song Maker, did you and that bird write any love for you? Oh, did you and that bird write any love for you? Mr. Song Maker, did you write that bird all the love that was meant for you? [Bridge] (stripped, intimate) Mr. Song Maker, you are in luck It doesn't have to come from a song maker, just someone who cares from above And if you believe in people, Mr. Song Maker, you will know [Final Chorus] (belted, with harmonies, bigger) Mr. Song Maker, next time leave a little love Mr. Song Maker, leave yourself some love Mr. Song Maker, leave yourself some love Mr. Song Maker, here's a slice of love [Outro] (soft oohs, fading) Leave yourself some love Oh, leave yourself some love
