I FIGURED I COULD LET YOU IN ON THE TUG-OF-WAR ROUGH DRAFT OF MY "EGO" VS MY "ALTER-EGO'S" WRITING PROCESS & PROGRESS ON THIS SONG-RAW AND AS-IS FOR NOW:
(This is something only a songwriter and arranger would understand :) But if you're not, feel free to voyeur:
“THA LINE”
(Spoken):
What did you do to me?
You got me so-so giddy?
I just can’t explain
These feelings I can’t contain
What you did to my brain
I’m just so thrown
I’m so gone
You got me excited
I’m on fire.
I’m ignited
I- I- I
I know that I’m stuttering
This aint butter and:
I just can’t wait to get home!
:24
VERSE 1
At hello you had me
Put speed on a heart that was lacking
No more am I dragging
I’m always (bragging ‘bout you baby)
When guys try to break me
I love claiming you as my baby
I’m so giddy and shaken
You opened my heart
I’ve been taken
(high/harmony) I’m your lover. I’m your friend. This thing that we have will ne-ver end.
I’ll always have your back
I’ m with you through the thick and thin
No load is too heavy
I love you ‘cause always get me
When we’re huggin and kissin
Keep other girls wishin
For me you
Allllllways will:
CHORUS:
Hold The Line
(I walk that line with you)
(I’m always down to be with you)
Love Isn’t Always On Time
Whoa Oh Oh

Love Isn’t
Always On Time
Whoa Oh Oh
VERSE 2
(So you say) You can’t live without me
Til’ death do us part you’re about me
(Here to stay) And never will doubt me
You’re always (bragging ‘bout me baby)
When girls try to break you
You love claiming me as your true-blue
You’re so giddy and shaken
I opened your heart
You’ve been taken
(high/harmony) You’re my love and homie –I’ll always be your one and only.
You’ll always have my back

VERSE 3
(They can say) What they wish about us
They haven’t a clue about this love
(We don’t play) We’re in this to win this
Can’t help but (brag about it baby)
Nobody can break us
We kiss then we miss and we make up
We’re too giddy and shaken
Our hearts are wide open
And awakened
(high/harmony) Be my first and last chapter, it’s you I will always run after.
We always have each other’s back
We’re in this through the thick and thin
No load is too heavy
I love you ‘cause always get me
When we’re huggin and kissin
Keep other girls wishin
For me you
Allllllways will:
CHORUS:
Hold The Line

Love Isn’t
Love Isn’t
Always On Time
Whoa Oh Oh
LAST VERSE/MADE BRIDGE
(Jam packed)
My heart is full
(Ex-act)
You make me whole
(Don’t lack)
You take control
(Can’t slack)
Grabbed hold of my soul
