It's ouuuut!!!

Hope you enjoy my new song, it's kind of a sophistipop/retro r&b “jazz” song inspired by the Tracey Emin light installation at Kings Cross Station!

Lyrics:

I don′t know what you've got but it plays with my emotions

I want you so much, darling, I want to hold you near

Want to whisper sweet and tender in your ear

Can′t stand the thought of you with somebody else

Got to have your love, got to have it all to myself

I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I wanna be your lover, lover mmm

Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy

Lover, lover, yeah

Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy

I'm too far gone, it's hard to stop, baby, you′re my dream in motion

And I won′t give up, teasin' me with your fire

My finger′s on the trigger, you're the one I desire

′Cause I get this feeling, feeling from nobody else

Gotta have your tenderness all to myself

I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wanna be your lover, lover mmm

Wanna be your lover, lover, loverboy

Lover, lover, yeah

Wanna be your lover, lover, ooh yeah

And I want you really but the thing is there's nothing I can say

To stop you darling from running, running away

Won′t you stay, stay, stay

Girl, I love you more and more each day

I wanna be your lover, lover, yeah

I wanna be your lover, lover

I wanna be your love

I gotta be your love

I wanna be your love

And I can stand it, baby

Think - Aretha Franklin - 1968

[shy-girl04]

Lately, I've been tied up, lately, I've been lying

Lately, I've been thinking about the ways to shake my life up

Lately, I've been useless, lately, I've been loose

Lately, I'm pushing through

I'll hold my hand tonight if I have to

I'll always pay the price when I'm with you

Oh-oh, lately

Oh-oh, lately
