The Insincere Lyrics: I write the songs that make the young girls cry.
Why They're Insincere: For those of you who obviously don't know any better. He knows he didn't write the song. He and former Pres. of Arista Clive Davis, disagreed about Barry recording this song, because of the obvious way people would take it. Clive had a vision it's one of his most popular songs. So I think he's over himself!!!
