You Love It When I Talk Wordy (c) 2002 by Bill Draper
v1 AAA... Come on in the living room Its been such a long day Sit down there on the couch Now just rest there...Stay! Til I get you a cool drink Put your feet up for awhile I'll be right back now honey You just hold that smile
Chorus oo you so big and strong oo you so handsome and sturdy And I just know,I just know You love it when I talk wordy!
v2 Now here I am back again baby That tie of yours looks so tight Lets loosen up a bit sugar Just relax now thats alright Now isn't that better honey Lets undo a few those buttons And let my little fingers sooth Where the collars been cuttin'
Chorus oo you so big and strong oo you so handsome and sturdy And I just know,I just know You love it when I talk wordy!
v3 Let's pull out that shirt-tail Here I'll loosen your belt Aaa come on now honey Ain't this the best you felt Since all day at the office Tied up on the phone Now its my turn to tie A few silky knots of my own
Chorus oo you so big and strong oo you so handsome and sturdy And I just know,I just know You love it when I talk wordy!

Good ideas, I like it.
It's real descriptive, and it's got a cool "tone" to it, but I expected just a little more from the hook.
I thought you'd go in the direction of: many sophisticated, multi-syllabled words turn me on...where you're saying something like, "darling, your epidermal charm and your optical disarm..." etc.
Anyway, there's a lot there that I like.
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Hi Bill, Well, i just thought i'd ask something. Your chorus does seem to be quite disjoint from the verses, doesn't it? I mean, they seem to belong to different songs altogether. Or maybe that's the way you intended it? I'm saying this because the verses deal with actions alone, no words spoken, and then the chorus talks about being "wordy"....You might want to look into this, huh? But the poetry's fine, otherwise... C ya, Pramod
I used to have an open mind, but my brains just kept falling out...

LOL, Bill. This is cute as can be. You could go two different ways with this. Mike had a good suggestion with the big words , and Pramod brought up a good point. You could change wordy to something like flirty. If you wanted to go in that direction. Either would work.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the nice comments. I know what you mean...I say wordy,thats what its gotta be....so I think I will drop that title and think of something that fits the existing verses better.
Thanks again for the encouraging words.

Hi Pramod,
You got it right on. I will change the chorus and title. THanks for reading and the good insight into this.
India! wow...welcome!

</font> Greetings: Overall I loved it. Some basic changes have already been brought up, so I won't recover them. I do have a couple things I would like to suggest, if I may. CURRENT Verse 1, line 4 "Now just rest there...Stay!" SUGGESTED V1 L4 "Now just let your mind stray" However, if you're going for a more "forcefully willed woman" talking to this man of hers, home after a long days work (which seems indicated by the line towards the end of the song about tieing a few silky knots), the idea JeanB came up with about talking "flirty", would fit right in with just a slight overhaul of the lyrics in the verses being bent towards innuendo and double entendre supporting that theme. ------------------ David Van Kleeck davidvankleeck@vankleeck.com http://www.soundclick.com/bands/crosstown.htm

Hi David, Thanks for that nice critique and the compliments. Thats a good analysis for sure. Good suggestion on the `Stay' line...that is a command for sure and establishes a certain tone I had not previously noticed. Thanks for drawing my attention to that. This gives me great encouragement to work a little more on this and then maybe get some music for it. Cheers Bill

Hi Bill, I stopped by to second Mike's idea about substituting some really big words in there to go along with that terrific hook! Idamarie

Hi Idamarie and debdeb
I thought of the title first. The text of the song is the `wordy' and is meant to be teasing. She is talking to him the whole time...the text of the verses. You like the hook Ida, and debdeb thinks the text is sexy...why wouldn't it work with a sexy female singing voice ?
Thanks for posting Ida and debdeb and all!
Bill

"Sit down there on the couch Now just rest there...Stay!"
Have you considered using the word 'dear' instead of "there" again in the second line? Just an idea :-)
