Story Behind the Song
This song will probably not be a hit song, unless Harry Connick, Jr. or Lyle Lovett cut the tune with their magic. However, it is a song to which most people can relate. It is about loving someone and that person not loving you back. I have the copyright to the sound that heart monitors make or any likeness thereof. So, I have incorporated it into the 2nd and last chorus using a violin (fiddle down Texas way!) I found inspiration for this song when my own heart was crushed once upon a time. Laura, who is mentioned in the song, parlez vous francais, y Yo hablo espanol!
Enjoy, Clem Vetters, BMI
Lyrics
Since the day we first met its been love at first sight and it only gets worse from there
From your pretty blue eyes, to your big pearly smile, to that stuff you put in your hair.
CHORUS:
But what do you do when you love somebody And they don't love you back?
Do you jump off a bridge?
Do you run away?
Or do you listen to your heart and have a heart, heart, heart attack?
I'll say I love you, yea that's what I'll do,
Cause I want to say it right, "Laura, I love you!"
And I hope you can hear me allright.
REPEAT CHORUS (Heart Monitor)
See you later alligator,
AUDIENCE: "See you later alligator!"
Adios amigo,
AUDIENCE: "Adios amigo!"
Au revoir mon amour,
Yea, I'm leaving my heart in your hands as I'm a walkin' out the door.
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG:
Do you jump off a bridge?
Do you run away?
Maybe you just fade away,
Or do you listen to your heart and have a heart, heart, heart attack? (Heart Monitor)
