about

This is a song I wrote back in 2013.
I was trying my best to mimic the crappy pop songs
I was hearing on the radio and in clubs.
It took me one night to compose, write, and produce.
I made it ironically...it ended up becoming a fan favorite.
This song helped me to appreciate the energy
that goes into performing pop music.

lyrics

I'll never look at a woman the same.
Baby, you've busted my brain.
Maybe I'll change my malevolent ways.
I got a little caught up in the game,
running from memory lane...
...funny, the way I became another name.
Just another recovery day,
give me a second to say what I've been meaning to make clear.
I've been a bit of a mystery, I apologize...
nine times out of ten, I'm a nice guy.

I'll watch my mouth if you just watch your temper.
We've been drunk all summer and it's damn-near September - please.

Take what you want from me. I've got all that I need.

I'll admit I'm a bit of a tough lover,
once the damage is done I'll move on
and find myself another...but it gets a little lonely when there's
no one holding onto you...I gotta get you out of my head
What can I do?

GET LOUD DOWNTOWN LIGHTS AND SOUND
I'M ON THE REBOUND! RUNNIN' 'EM INTO THE GROUND!
GONNA GET A "WHATIWANT" I'MA PASS IT AROUND!
GONNA GET A LITTLE FUNKY WITH MY MONEY-MOUND!
FEELING HELL-BOUND! GONNA START A FIGHT NOW!
I'M A BLOODHOUND WHEN THE SUN'S DOWN!
