Lyrics: "She love love songs They get her every time Little, pretty music A lovely little rhyme I could love her Do what a lover does She would know I love her If she knew who I was I'm standing there But she don't care I wanna be a songwriter I wanna be a rom writer I wanna take an all nighter And turn it into a heart breaker melody I wanna put some notes together With some words that mean forever I wanna be a songwriter, and write a song to make her love me He kills her softly Beautiful and real And making her feel things, that I can't make her feel I'd show her now, but I don't know how I wanna be a songwriter I wanna be a rom writer I wanna take an all nighter And turn it into a heart breaker melody I wanna put some notes together With some words that mean forever I wanna be a songwriter, and write a song Make her love me before she falls in love with you She won't love me 'til I do what you do [x3]" The song "Songwriter" by Harry Connick, Jr. expresses the narrator's desire to be a songwriter in order to win the love of a girl who is infatuated with love songs.
