I saw you through the smoky haze
And I picked up on your slick ways
More than you ever guessed
You shouldn?t have bought me that last drink
Because now I?m really startin? to think
And I?m gonna make you love me

I saw you leavin? in your blue truck
And it wasn?t just a spark of luck
For me to catch your plates
That?s a damn nice place that you call home
And I have the number for your telephone
I?m gonna make you love me

Don?t ask me how I got this key
I did it for you and me
Because I know you want this
You look so sweet when you?re asleep
I think you?re the one I?m gonna keep
But who?s that girl beside you?

I?m gonna rip the sheets right off of your bed
Yell out the thoughts that dance in my head
I?m gonna make you love me
You told me I was nice and sweet
Well, here?s another side for you to meet
I?m gonna make you love me

I know you love my pretty face
So tell when I can take her place
Should I be the one who?s strong?
I?ve got a gun, it?s not loaded though
It mostly is simply for show
I can tell you?re impressed

Don?t pull the blankets back up to hide
The feelings that you have inside
Just let them all out, dear
Why are you lookin? at me like that?
I just came by for a little chat
I?m gonna make you love me

I?m gonna rip the sheets right off of your bed
Yell out the thoughts that dance in my head
I?m gonna make you love me
You told me I was nice and sweet
Another like me, you?ll never meet
I?m gonna make you love me

Tell me, sweetheart, that you love me?

I do have an MP3 of this song...but I discovered when I directly linked it, it would play in Quicktime...and it got all choppy and distorted. So...here's the URL...best bet is to go to "Open URL" in Windows Media Player and try this:

It could just be that MY computer sucks though...
 
great greta job.
Seriously, how do you do that! write a melody without any guitar or anything, I would be lost

reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley!!
Everybody Here Wants You
 
Thanks for your replies, everybody. :hug: I appreciate them.

I don't know...that's just how I've always done it, since I don't know how to play guitar or anything. I always have to sit and sing it to myself as I write it. Sometimes, everything just flows and comes together. This song was written in about 10 minutes...except for 3 of the lines that have been banging in my head for about a month, just waiting for a song they could be a part of.

It either comes to me very easily...or it is very hard. There's not much middle ground.
 
wow

You know..you do have a great voice! And an uncanny ability to hold a melody without music...awesome tune...can I get you to call my stalking ex and sing that tune to him and out the fear of <G> into him? ..rofl.....just kidding.
 
Wow, BC!!

You have a very very nice singing voice. A very natural technical voice too!

Congrats on both!!! :wave:
 
I said to you last time you posted an MP3 of your songs that you achieve something which all great technical voices can achieve which is sing along without music to guide you..and weave a melody on your own. Its not an easy skill by any means and you do it very well..very nice song
