From the recording RIVER
Was dating a girl who seemed have serious mood swings. It was extremely frustrating so I decided to wrote a tune about the challenges of loving someone changes up one moment from the next. I took a really different approach to the original track and result was something amazing but once it was done I wasn't sure it would work for me. Contacted a couple friends in the business to see if they wanted to record it. Both thought the tune was dope but weren't able to find the right fit for it. Finally, I decided to record it for the album and ask one of those friends to join me. L
Luckily for me, my good friend Eric Roberson agreed to sing on it with me. He and I have been friends for years and have performed together as well. Eric is well established songwriter so I didn't know how he would feel recording a song he didn't have a part in writing. I know how that is being as songwriter myself but if the song is good it's all good. I guess he liked my songwriting for this one. LOL!
Lyrics
Verse 1 (Alvin)
There was something about the way that she looked at me that gave me indications that
Something was wrong she was sitting there with the blankest stare.
You would think I was someone she didn’t even know.
So now I’m all confused and I don’t know what to do I grabbed my coat I guess I’ll head for the door.
She said please don’t go. I said I gotta go.
‘Cause I don’t know just who you are anymore.
I figured that we need some time away to get our heads together.
Maybe later try this again.
Until then we can’t be friends.
Based on the circumstances I thought that she would understand it, naw.
‘Cause in a fit of rage the whole room was rearranged and I’m looking like
What in the world’s happened to my girl?
It’s like she disappeared within the night...
A gone gyrl.
CHORUS
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(I don’t really know who she will be when she wakes up to see another day.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(It’s like loving a stranger. Everyday is danger its steady pushing me away.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(There’s no doubt I love her. Trying to discover what we had just yesterday.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(It’s like loving a stranger. Everyday is danger its steady pushing me away.)
Verse 2 (Erro)
See I’m not the type to run away the first time I see trouble. Made my mind up
that I should stick around.
To see what’s it all about to let her know that I am down
Maybe I’ll discover something so profound or nah.
The next morning when she got up she looked at me and smiled and acted as if
nothing happened at all.
Leaned over gave me a kiss, I’m like which girl is this in the back of my mind I was
remini-scing of
All the times I thought that she was PMSing now I’m stressing thinking how did I
ignore all the signs?
My love for her had me blind, started off so sublime. Now I’m all caught up in
these love crimes, yeah.
It’s so hard for me to walk away knowing the girl she was when I first met her she
was out of this world but what happened to my girl? It’s like she disappears within
the night....A gone gyrl.
CHORUS
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(I don’t even know who she will be when she wakes up to see another day.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(It’s like loving a stranger. Everyday is danger its steady pushing me away.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(Guess I truly love her. Waiting to discover what we had just yesterday.)
She’s a Gone Gyrl
(It’s like loving a stranger. Everyday is danger its steady pushing me away.)
