50. Happy Birthday Dove!

Well, other husbands may give roses, or spa coupons, or wonton feral jungle passion, but here's a song I wrote for you.

I came up with it a bit after my last song for you, but I didn't know how I would have it arranged. So I sent it to Debs who did a piano rendition. She added a chord in for me which I kept. Then I got busy. Last week I got Jeff in, and he played around with it on his guitar, and I would have recorded it, but my Fasttrack was acting up.

So this past weekend, I got Mark to come in with his Emu, and we recorded an acoustic guitar and a bass. Of course, he had to get back for dinner party, so we couldn't spend a wack of time on it. And that night, I invited people over for boardgames, so I couldn't spend lots of time on the vocals.

So I sent the rough draft to Andrew to do drums. He returned it to me at 2am in the morning, poor guy . Of course, it wasn't a separate track, but the whole song, with my tinny, out of tune vocals.

So... that is my excuse for this song. But I still like it. :D

I love you.




No One Wants Me Anyway


You had guys they were heart throbs
You loved them but they did too
Proclaimed their love but lacked faithfulness
How many did you go through?

But you gave up on the alpha male
And chose me a guy ignored
Gave me a chance I'm not half bad
Despite the fact I seem hardcore


You will never have to worry
No one ever looks my way
I will remain true and steadfast
No one wants me anyway

I will always be with you
True and faithful I will be
Our lives are intertwined forever
No one else would have me
So you'll have all of me


We were just friends, my lot in life
About your boys you would confide
I'd hear complaints, they were boorish
Had no commitment, or they lied

But you knew I wouldn't do that
Took a while for this admission
What's there to lose, except your dignity.
It's not like you'd have competition


No one gives me second glances
No one will steal me away
I'll stick by you, I'm here forever
No one wants me anyway

I will always be with you
True and faithful I will be
Our lives are intertwined forever
No one else will have me

So you'll have all of me.
