Hey Kitt, thanks for leaving a review . Yeah, it would be nice, but I have no musical talent whatsoever... I have great rhythm in my head ...and my body... but no way to translate it. . Cheers...

:heart:
We really need to find someone who can write music to put music to your wonderful lyrics!

Headstall, your talent with words more than makes up for a lack of musical talent. Bravo!

Thank you so much, Reader. I do enjoy playing with the words . I love the 'Bravo'...it is so very encouraging, and I appreciate the review... Cheers... Gary

Thanks, Lit. At least I can hear the music lol. Glad you thought the lyrics were 'wonderful'... much appreciated...cheers...Gary

You are a master of words. I agree with the others - you should sit down with someone who can write music to put a melody to your work.

Thanks Eagle, for the review. I'm answering this one right away . Getting a musician interested in my lyrics would be amazing. Who knows? At some point it may happen. I just love writing the words.Thanks for the kind praise... cheers...Gary

Another great song, Gary, but this one has unsettled me more than the others--I don't know if it's innate suspicion, but I feel sorry for the narrator--he's going to be broken-hearted, and we can't prevent it.

Women like the one described are often cruel and calculating in the use of their power over men, giving no concern for the other person's feelings. It is precisely those types of people--male or female--who should never be granted the privilege of parenthood. They will only breed more arrogant and thoughtless creatures.

Much as I want to shake the narrator and scream at him for being a fool, you can't help someone who doesn't seek your help. And so, I will pity him in his foolishness, maybe even feel some sympathy when he is thrown aside, but I won't shed a tear...well, maybe a couple, but I won't obsess.

I agree on finding a musician, but barring that, how about doing what the old broadside publishers did--suggest a tune to which thenew words may be sung?

Hey, CG. Thanks for the review. I'm glad that this song made you feel so strongly. I wrote it though, as light-hearted. I didn't see her as a bad person... just incredibly beautiful...the kind men will throw themselves over puddles for, so she doesn't get her feet wet. She really can't help how she looks, and she shouldn't have to apologise for it. And yeah, the narrator's an idiot, but he can't help himself... he is totally captivated. I love that you see it in the vein you do... that's what a song should do I think... be open for interpretation. Thanks for such a thoughtful review, Buddy...cheers...Gary

Yay! Finally a song I'm not crying to!

The narrator may be setting himself up for heartbreak. He sounds like he's head over heels already, and the girl isn't committing to anyone, in fact, she's leaving men in her wake to pine over her.

Yeah, this one was meant to be fun... She's a heartbreaker...fall for her at your own peril... I really had fun writing this one... thanks for reviewing, Lisa...Cheers... Gary

Yep, this is how we feel when we first see the one that makes our hearts flutter. It's a shame it never seems to last.

Relationships are hard work, but I know what you mean, Craig. We have to put the effort in and hope for the best. I always tried my best, but there are no guarantees. Sometimes it's the wrong person, and sometimes it is just bad luck.   This song, though, was meant to be fun.
