I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
No, I didn't know that expression. I found it in a dictionary. But after John Lennon used it, I think it's okay that I use it, too. Blues-Rock, female vocals:
I need your love, Babe
I need you right here with me tonight
I need your love so much, (Babe,) don't let me down tonight
fish or cut bait, Babe
it's time that you took a stand, for once
don't leave me in the dark, (Babe,) don't let me down, for once
The 'Babe' in brackets is optional. The note is in the tune, but I don't think it's essential - I'd prefer to leave it out. The first part of the verses change, the second part is repeated to drive the hook home.
