OK…so impress me already
Everybody cops an attitude once in a while. Right? Even songwriters. Way back in 1988 I was writing some thoughts down, based on how I perceived some social interaction. As I often do, I just let the words take me where they would. And they took me to a song I called – Impress Me. I’m sharing the lyrics to the song here on the blog today. If you’d like to hear an old recording of it, you can subscribe to my podcast.
Impress Me
They say you’ve got diamonds in your eyes
They say that your hair is spun from silk
Well I never cared too much for jewelry
And I never liked honey with my milk
They say you out-smile the Mona Lisa
They say you can soothe the savage beast
Well the Mona Lisa barely curled her lips up
And I’ve seen a lion tamed with just a feast
So c’mon and impress me..let me see what you’ve got
Is it true what they say? Can you show me today?
Can you give it a shot?
C’mon and impress me..let me see what you can do
If you give me a look that you got from a book
Then I won’t even know you
They say that you’ve turned a million heads
They say that your feet don’t touch the ground
Well lots of women get those double-takes
And it’s hard to feel someone who floats around
repeat chorus
It’s not that I’m so hard to please
I’ve had my share of victories
But now I want to hold some flesh and blood
If my little dam should break, well I don’t think
That I could take the flood
repeat chorus…inst…repeat chorus twice to end
