(A story in song)
Lyrics: Janet M
Music: Frank McNulty
NOTE: Music video in the works!
INTRO: (Moderato – haunting, mysterious! - -
Series of vocal Oooh-s during opening instrumental)
VERSE 1:
You walked in with self-assurance,
You extended your hand with self-confidence;
You serenaded me with opera,
You spoke to me with an accent.
You were mysterious and you were handsome!
I wanted to know you; I wanted to know you,
I wanted to know you; I wanted to know you,
But I was alarmed by you!
CHORUS:
I SAW STOP SIGNS in my sleep.
Trying so desperately to warn me!
I didn-t listen, I didn-t notice, I didn-t listen, I didn-t notice,
I didn-t listen, I didn-t notice.
SECTION 2:
I gave you the benefit of the doubt,
I excused your emotional outbursts;
I gave you my heart and you played me a fool,
Played me a fool! played me a fool!
Played me a fool, played me a fool,
Played me a fool!
VERSE 2:
Your enthusiasm was overwhelming,
Your abilities were breath taking;
You were emotionally like no other,
You wore them smack dab on your sleeve.
The tales you told were tall and thrilling;
I wanted to hear you; I wanted to hear you,
I wanted to hear you; I wanted to hear you.
But I was alarmed by you!
CHORUS: (Repeat Chorus))
SECTION 3:
I was there to bring you happiness,
I was there to hold your hand;
I was there to bring you peace
And I was there to save you.
You were there to bring me chaos
And you were there to push me down;
You were there to give me grief
And you were there to destroy me!
I didn-t listen, I didn-t notice,
I didn-t listen, I didn-t notice!
VERSE 3:
You made me feel bad, as bad as you did,
You gave my heart pain, as much as yours hurt! You made my life hell,
As much as yours was!
I wasn-t intrigued cause I was deceived!
You were a liar and you were thief,
I wanted to leave you; I wanted to leave you,
I wanted to leave you; I wanted to leave you!
But I was alarmed by you!
CHORUS:
I SAW STOP SIGNS in my sleep,
Trying so desperately to warn me:
I finally listened, I finally noticed,
I finally listened,
I finally listened, I finally noticed!
SECTION 2:
You were driven by all your insecurities,
You were led by raging jealousy;
You-re the cowardly lion, A man in disguise,
You-re nothin to me, nothin to me!
You-re nothin to me, you-re nothin to me,
You-re nothin to me, now I am free!
Ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh!
Ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh! ooh!
I don-t wish to know you; I don-t wish to know you,
I don-t wish to know you; I don-t wish to know you,
I don-t wish to know you; I don-t wish to know you,
And I-m not alarmed by you!
