14.the player you get wip
rock pop folk ballad, wanna be torch maybe
exploring the multiverses sound by sound and word by word
Story behind the song
story behind the song: i should learn to mind my own business lol, but what's the fun in that. Title is borrowed from monsieur Walsh, "The smoker you drink, the player you get"
Lyrics
i wonder if she thought
i might be like that
somewhat a provacateur
wanting her only on her back
i wonder if she knows
she's with someone like that
he's somewhat a conquistador
with her another country to sack
why did i tell her she'd fall in love again
after she told me we'd never be more than friends
why did i tell her to trust her heart again
i know sometimes how the heart will pretend
i wonder how she feels
heart beating so fast
flowers and forevermores
both things that won't last
i wonder how she fell
infatuated or in love
with her unctuous paramour
breath caught in his touch
and i told her she'd fall in love again
after she told me we'd never be more than friends
and i told her to trust, to trust her heart again
but i forget sometimes that's just a means to one end
i wonder how she is
now after the the act
his play of simply wanting more
was nothing more than that
i wonder what to say
better to listen, not react
to the tears of nevermore
the sobs of why is he like that
yeah i told her she'd fall in love again
after she told me we'd never be more than friends
and i told her, yeah i told her to trust her heart again
but i, to my regret, i forgot there are other kinds of men
and other kinds of friends ...
