Story Behind The Song
A plaintive love song about narcissism and self-involvement. Really happy with the lead guitar tone here--my '78 Guild S-60. --Tim

Lyrics
About You
Words & music by Timothy Walsh
Tell me everything you want to hear.
Tell me everything, whisper in my ear.
Call me up when you are feeling alone.
Sing me all your songs on the telephone
...about you....about you.
Show me everything under the sun.
Show me all the trophies you've ever won.
Tell me all the times you won applause.
Show me all your letters to Santa Claus
...about you....about you.
CHORUS: You are going gluten-free, no dairy,
and you swear alien abduction is true.
You are always cleansing and detoxing
but I can't help loving you.
Take you out to dinner, you tell me your dreams.
Nothing is ever just what it seems.
Tell me all your fears in the dead of night.
Tell me what you see with your second sight
...about you....about you.
Always in the morning, breakfast in bed.
Serve you tea and muffins, pillow for your head.
Swaddled in blankets, checking your phone,
never even notice I've left you alone....
About you....always about you.
CHORUS: You are going gluten-free, no dairy, etc.
BRIDGE: But the world is spinning round.
The oceans are so blue.
The sun rises in the east
without you.
Never in this world, see you alone.
Always wasting time on your xylophone.
Taking yoga lessons all day long,
never having time to hear my song
about you....About you...about you...about you...about you!
