	This is a very innovative, upbeat tune that incorporates the style of Arabic music. Very nice!
	Story Behind the Song This song is about a Turkish girl that I met with whom I had a brief, but very memorable acquaintance. I wanted to think up a pet name for her. At first, all I came up with was Turkish coffee, which happens to be a beverage I like, but not too catchy as a pet name. Then, I remembered when I was a kid, I saw the animated special "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" based on the book by C.S. Lewis. In the special, the evil witch entices a young, hungry boy by giving him Turkish delight. To this day, I have never actually eaten Turkish delight, but I did look it up on the internet just to make sure it is an actual dish. I liked the sound of Turkish Delight as a pet name. I liked it so much, in fact, that I decided to write a song with the same title. The music I composed has an Arabic flavor to it due to the fact that Turkey is an Arab country, and the fact that I think the dances that Arabic women do to this kind of music is extremely sexy (think Shakira). I wanted to write music that causes women to move that way. Lyrics (Verse 1) I told myself I'd be alone again Such a lonely man, such a lonely, lonely, lonely man But then a pretty thing caught my eye It was such a surprise that I barely could believe my eyes I wasn't sure just what to say but then you looked over my way With just one glance I was hypnotized Before I knew it you were next to me Felt the ecstasy But my mind filled with complexity You said you wanted to come home with me Be my fantasy (all throught the night) I wasn't quite sure if I should but you were lookin' real good So I decided to take a bite of... (Chorus) Turkish delight Satisfy my appetite So tasty and warm Inside you make me feel right Like sugar and spice Dinner by soft candlelight Got to have you tonight My Turkish delight (Verse 2) You've got a special sensitivity Make me feel the things that I wouldn't ordinarily Got my head spinnin' 'round and 'round up and down (You rock my world) Lady take me by the hand, gotta make you understand To me you're more than just a girl, you're my... (Chorus)
