Story Behind The Song
The woman I talk about in this song is the mother of my son. I wrote it shortly after we broke up. It counts as my first "singer-songwriter" type song.
Song Description
Classic blues-rock with a sassy electric guitar, driving percussion, a smooth bluesy piano, and a strong heartfelt vocal to make it all feel so good.

Lyrics
VERSE:
Let me tell you about this woman
she said love ain't enough for me.
Let me tell you about this woman
she said love ain't enough for me.
She said love's not enough, I need
comfort and financial security.
Well I offered her unconditional love
I gave her my heart on a plate.
Well I offered her unconditional love
I gave you my heart on a plate.
Well all this I did out of season
by then her scorn it sealed my fate.
SOLO
VERSE:
Well I know I lost you baby
but this light in my heart still shines.
Well I know I lost you baby
but this light in my heart still shines.
Well I thank you for the experience
but Lord I hope to do better next time.
Well I thank you for the experience
but Lord I hope to do better next time.
END.
