Story behind the song
The melody came to me first. About a woman who has helped her man along in life and then he finds somebody new. My imagination motivated me. Reminds one of the 50s & 60s... the Stroll.
Lyrics

WELL, YOU WALK IN HERE AND TEAR MY WORLD APART YOU WALK IN HERE AND DESTROY MY HEART YOU SAY IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN'T HELP YOU'VE GONE AND FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE YOU WALK AWAY LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DO LISTEN TO ME BABY I WANNA SAY TO YOU (CHORUS) DIDN'T I...
