nothing to do with you

wrote this tonight. it's on the way to becoming a song with melody, chords, and benny shell on guitar.

and it's about the love of my life.



don’t come over here
looking at me that way.
don’t try talking
those fancy words at me.


you’re not the one for me
don’t fit into my plans.
i’m dreaming big and tall
don’t try to slow me down.



cause darling, i had it all figured out.
i knew just what to do.
have a life and a house and a pretty little love
and nothing to do with you.



think you impress me with
those good looks and your charm?
think you can win me over
using tricks like that?



think again.



(guitar, mandolin, and piano instrumental)



no i can’t take it
when your hand is holding mine.
don’t want to feel your mouth
so warm and slow and fine.



cause darling, i had it all figured out.
i knew just what to do.
have a life and a house and a pretty little love
and nothing to do with you.



just stay away from me
stop showing that you care.
take back your good jokes
all of our chemistry and flair.



(bridge)
you’re not the one for me
regardless of those eyes.
the way they see into the
secret places, long lost places,
pain i’ve hidden, joy you’re bringing
fear of falling, love i’m feeling-



so darling, we have it all figured out.
i know just what to do.
have a life and a house and a pretty little love,
and all i want to do is
all i want to see is
all i want to love is you.
