Message To My Lover

[john]

Hi Guys

 

Ok... been a while, but challenges are always interesting.

 

An oldie but goodie. Write a song where you are sending your lover a message. It should be an important message... ie not "there's a cup of coffee made for you!"

 

Any style.

 

Bonus points if you can also post a recording of you (or a colleague) playing and singing the song!

 

Cheers

 

John

Baby, If You Go

Only one thing I know for sure baby, 

if you go you’ll turn my world around, 

sun go down forever, I'll go stone crazy 

you commence to up and leave this town. 

 

I'll get another job you don’t have to worry 

get the lights and water turned back on 

don't be in such a gosh darn all fired hurry, 

you don’ wanna go, at least wait for dawn.. 

 

(chorus) 

Reconsider what they call the consequences 

things'll get better down to the solid core 

I'll get better, I'll patch up the broke down fence 

you know, you remember, I bounced back before. 

 

Now wait just one minute it’s a doggone fact 

we've had our propah share of good times  

I told you a thousand times I'd pay you back 

all you seem to remember are my little crimes. 

 

 

(refrain) 

Ooooo baby, if you go 

Ohhhh baby, if you go. 

 

Child, if you go on your cross country jaunt 

our dreams will go up the pipe in smoke. 

I swear  I'll give you most anything you want, 

you know me darlin’ that’s not an idle joke  

 

Reconsider what they call the consequences 

things'll get better down to the solid core 

I'll get better, I'll patch up the broke down fence 

you know, you remember, I bounced back before. 

 

Baby, if you go 

Emm hmm, if you go 

 

You're gonna turn my world around 

if you go 

Baby, please don’t go 

No oh oh no
