I shared the idea behind this song with some songwriting friends and they felt the song should be a country song because of the title. I went the Jazz/R&B route. Hopefully this element will add to this song's appeal.
Lyrics
it took me a year
to get over you
now you're at my door
feelin' sad and blue
you don't understand
why i had to leave
i think you know why
i left 'cause you ain't right
i grew tired of sleepin'
with tears in my eyes
love ain't a game to play
it's a way of life
i left 'cause you ain't right
i still recall
how the phone would ring
then off you'd go
without sayin' a thing
hours would pass
and when you'd return
i'd see her in your eyes
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
i was hot
you were cold
i was high
you were low
you were breakin' my heart
i couldn't take it no more
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
don't try to explain
i've heard it before
you can't give love
so i walked out your door
i know in my heart
i'll fall in love again
and now i must say goodbye
(repeat chorus)
(coda)
