A book that you should get hold of that will explain all you need to know is The Craft And Business of Songwriting by John Braheny.

I've just had a look and there are some cheap, secondhand copies on www.amazon.com. This book is split into two halves. The first half covers the craft of wiritng songs, the second half covers things like publishing, song contracts, copyright, etc. (all the business-side of things). It's well worth getting a copy. I have an old copy presently on loan to a friend.

Noel
