"Tho' I love writing songs I consider myself a composer. Cut my teeth on orchestration when I was a copyist for Manilow. Country influence holds sway right now.

Story behind the song
Had the germ of this tune kicking around for years until songwriting partner, Kim, got me off shied. Love how Shanna sells it, all about a girl who never can quite get it right.
Lyrics
(Just Another Love Affair) D-O-A I. Sonny was a natural lover. Just a ragin' fire. We were Burnin' up the covers. I said: "We get much hotter, sugar, We'll be committin' a crime." Talkin' 'bout the law's kinda funny 'Cuz Sonny's up the river Pulling ten to twenty. Stealing from a honey. Ten to twenty means it wasn't the first time. Chorus: Just another love affair "D-O-A". If I had to describe our love Can't think of a better way. "Baby, here's wishing' you well. Just another lover and another motel," And it's just another love affair "D-O-A". II. Billy made a livin' playing' poker. He was a damn good lookin' and a practical joker. Dark and tall'n always had something to say. Billy was a real humdinger. Guess you could say he was a swinger. Catch your man with another man? It can ruin your day. Repeat Chorus: III. Ain't a better man than Buddy. He could be the guy if you're Lookin' for a hubby. You know he's good for a laugh And a roll in the hay. But Buddy said: "When you gonna get it ? How many lovers will it take till you regret Wakin' up in the morning' Knowing that you gave it away?" He said we're… Copyright 2003 D.C. Hall and Kim Cote
