From the recording RIVER
Songwriters can potentially have short attention spans from time to time. Creatives in general have to remain engaged as not to drift so I was in the middle of completing another song and this one came about. The Drift. LOL. I wanted something simple, catchy but uptempo. A tune that felt good and would make you wanna dance while telling a story.
This song is about the girl who's playing hard to get but the guy ain't having it. He sees through her façade, knows she's amazing and set on getting to know her better. If this doesn't make you get up and dance nothing will!
Lyrics
Verse 1
Why you gotta be so cold
Acting like your heart is made of stone
I take it you just don't believe in love no more
Listen
I would never do you that way
The game of love is the only one that I would play
I'm placing all bets on you, so tell what you gone do
I need to know...
Chorus
Something about the way you walk (You)
Something about the way you talk' (You)
Something about the way you smile (You)
It always drives me wild
Something about the way you stare (You)
The pretty you wear your hair (You)
No other girl can compare (You)
I gotta have you I don't care
Verse 2
I will never lie to you, that is something I won't ever do
'Cuz I'm the one who's trying to win your heart
Back when we first started out, I told you what I was all about
Made some mistakes back in my past, lookin' for a love that's gonna last
And I say you are the one
Chorus (same as above)
Verse 3
I know you've heard this all before
And your love life has been like a revolving door
When one relationship ends,
That's when the next one begins, all gas no breaks slow down
Let me be the one who can show you
All the things that you been missing with those other dudes
I'm just asking you for a chance
So I can show you that I'm the man
Who can love you the right way
Chorus (same as above)
Breakdown
Girl when I first saw you
I knew I had to make you mine
Let's go
Chorus (until fade)
