  • This is what the Lord wants me to do
    In my heart, I just believe that there's no proof
    I think about the chorus, the melody's important
    But nothing sounds sweeter than the truth
    I used to sip the whiskey and hit the bong
    I gave that up, now all my friends are gone
    And my folks don't understand I ain't no macho man
    But I know how to write one hell of a song

    Yeah, I'm a shy young man with a real big heart
    I still haven't found where I belong
    But you know, my sweet Lord gave me just one thing, darling
    I know how to write one hell of a song
    Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song

    Wrote one for Snoop, did not take long
    Wrote one for Bieber and one for Sean
    And Jay Z offered me a deal
    I said dawg, throw in another mil'
    'Cause you know I can write one hell of a song

    Yeah, I'm a shy young man with a real big heart
    I still haven't found where I belong
    But you know, my sweet Lord gave me just one thing, darling
    I know how to write one hell of a song
    Yeah, I know how to write one hell of a song

    James!

    Sometimes I stay up well past dawn
    If God puts one in my head, that's what he wants
    I'm a simple type of artist, I don't like to walk red carpets
    I would rather write one hell of a song
    Yeah, I wrote this and it's one hell of a song Writer/s: MIKE POSNER
