Mellyrama's blog: "Songs"

I wrote the verses for this bluesy song a few years ago while walkin to and from the bus stops a few times a day in the summer in Phoenix... got a car now, thank god! I just recently wrote the chorus and put it all together... lemme know what you think ;D "Perfect Man Blues" Walkin down the street, getting sore feet Waitin for a man to come and save me from this heat But not just any man can pick me up He's gotta have sweet eyes & smiles but still seem kinda tough And if he has class, likes shootin pool and gets tattoos Then I know hes gonna take my heart and leave me with the blues Cuz when the fire ends then the lyin begins So they say perfect men are best kept just as friends But then how would I feel like I had ever lived at all Me and blues been gettin along baby, so bring em on Now I got a man and... things are goin fine But I know its just a matter of time before he's cheatin and lyin But even when its over, you know I wont be down Cuz you know I aint no stranger to men who mess around If there's one thing that Ive learned its how to keep a smile And thats by keepin my men at 15 miles and just keepin them a little while Cuz when the fire ends then the lyin begins So they say perfect men are best kept just as friends But then how would I feel like I had ever lived at all Me and blues been gettin along baby, bring em on Guitar solo Repeat chorus

This is a song I wrote when I was 18 "Away From Me" Another page fillin in the book Illustrated by one last look So many ways to ask you to stay But I just watch you walk away and I wonder if I'll think of my past and ever wish to turn the time back would I chase you, would I let you go all I know is my heart has froze So many days I gazed in your eyes Thinkin about how much I loved life I really did try to forgive your flaws But still they slipped through my jaws and I wonder if I'll think of my past and ever wish to turn the time back would I chase you, would I let you go all I know is my heart has froze and theres nothing I can do, its up to you I tried everything I knew, its up to you I threw it all away yeah I pushed you away always, I pissed it away and it seems for you that its okay to get away from me, to get away from me And it feels like the sunset takes forever And it feels like things aren't getting better and I hate to feel how I do about you To feel like things could be right without you And it feels like its so hard to love you and its easy to hold it all above you and I hate to feel this way, dying to be free cuz it kills me to see you get away from me
