Tell Me (If You Want My Lovin') (Pre-Production)
Use words, use your body, shake your hair, do something naughty, just "Tell Me, If You Want My Lovin'."
Performer/Songwriter
Hey everybody! I'm Jerry Flattum, Performer/Songwriter.
The recordings you are listening to are in Pre-Production, a fancier way of saying "demo." I'm currently working on getting up the financing to re-record and master several recordings in preparation for commercial release.
Nothing drives me nuts more than knowing how these tunes will sound with new arrangements and a top notch mix/master. There's alot of color missing from the current recordings, but most of all guitar and backup vocals. Live drums and new keyboard samples will really bring the arrangement to life too.
Two of the songs feature "hired guns" (session players). Tim Thompson did the guitar and mix on "My Little Girl," a Country/Rock ballad. Thompson is a finger style champion and when he let's loose on uptempo rockers he rivals the best pickers I've ever heard.
Stephen Sea knocked out his own arrangement of "Best Place Around" and topped it off with some amazing guitar work.
Virtual instruments and sampling technology will be heavily used in the new recordings.
Once the recordings are finished, with sufficient financing and backing, I'm planning a global tour with a stage show that includes dancers, acting, stage design, lighting and costuming.
Story behind the song
It was a dream date and I still can't believe she turned to me in the car and said, "Tell me what you want and I'll do it." It's moments like that when a song hits you right between the eyes.
The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
TELL ME (IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN')
IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN', TELL ME,
TELL ME what you want and I'll do it.
TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME.
IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN', TELL ME,
TELL ME what you want and I'll do it.
TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME.
Use words, use your body,
shake your hair, do something naughty.
Use your lips, use your eyes,
use your hips, do something nice.
Don't say no - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't turn away - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
I'll play any game that you want to play.
Don't hold back - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't hesitate - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't make me nervous and don't make me wait.
IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN', TELL ME,
TELL ME what you want and I'll do it.
TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME.
IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN', TELL ME,
TELL ME what you want and I'll do it.
TELL ME, TELL ME, TELL ME.
You can growl, you can hiss,
say it all with just one kiss.
Light my fire, just a touch,
do it now, I need you that much.
Don't say no - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't turn away - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
I'll play any game that you want to play.
Don't hold back - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't hesitate - IF YOU WANT MY LOVIN'.
Don't make me nervous and don't make me wait.
Hey baby! What I want? You got it! You got it!
Come on! Give it to me!
Hey baby! What I need? You got it! You got it!
Come on! Give it to me!
So TELL ME, so TELL ME...
