Not Sure What I'M Good For

You said the time was wrong, that it was me all along, but nothing is for sure... when you’re addicted to allure- So now I’ve written you this song, not sure what I’m good for- ....anymore. CHORUS When we set this fire with intense desire, your sweet embrace when you’d gently trace- Oh baby, I’m always tired… and you’re always wired- Said you just craved your space so when you lock the door, baby, lock with grace, cuz’ I’m just not sure what I’m good for- ...anymore. I said to you the day was black, my blame blew right off the track, but I know one thing is right, gotta' give up this fight- You can’t take sorrow back... not sure what I’m good for- ....anymore. CHORUS When we set this fire with intense desire, your sweet embrace when you’d gently trace- Oh baby, I’m always tired… and you’re always wired- Said you just craved your space so when you lock the door, baby, lock with grace, cuz’ I’m just not sure what I’m good for- ...anymore.

Indeed - this would make a great song. You put it to music? You do notes? You play an instrument? WOW, girl - I am impressed and do, oh yes, love the lyrics. All the best ... CayCay

This was very cool and does read with a melody. I'd love to hear the melody you have composed for it sometime. Kind of has a country feel to it.
