Lyrics

Something Inside Of Me

( STEVE DAFOE 2005)
(COPYRIGHTED)


VERSE 1:

C#/Db F#/Gb G#/Ab A#/Bb C#/Db

IN MY LIFE, I KNEW THE LONLINESS
A HEART DAMAGED, A SOUL EMPTY
HOLDING MY EMOTIONS SO CLOSELY
JUST TRYIN' TO PASS LIFE'S TEST'S...
AND THEN I SAW YOU


CHORUS 1:

C E G F D
AND SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
FROM A PLACE I DO NOT KNOW
E G B A F
TUMBLES MY HEART AROUND
E G B A F
COVERS ME WITH A SPECIAL GLOW
C E G F D
IT'S JUST SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
JUST SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME



VERSE 2:

C#/Db F#/Gb G#/Ab A#/Bb C#/Db

THOSE BIG BEAUTIFUL EYES
YOU SEE THROUGH MY DISGUISE
MY KNEES WEAKEN, THE PULSE QUICKENS
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS FAR BEFORE
I FEEL MY SPIRIT FINALLY SOAR





CHORUS 2:


C E G F D
AND THIS SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
FILLS A SOUL ONCE EMPTY
E G B A F
MAKING MY LIFE COMPLETE
E G B A F
LIFTING MY HEART TO A DIFFERENT BEAT
C E G F D
CAUSE OF SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
JUST SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME


VERSE 3:

C#/Db F#/Gb G#/Ab A#/Bb C#/Db

AND ALL THROUGH THE YEARS
WITH MUCH AND EVEN TEARS
A HEART IS REPAIRED, A SOUL FULFILLED
NOW LITTLE ONE'S TO KEEP US THRILLED
ALL BECAUSE YOU SOOTHED MY FEARS

CHORUS 3:


C E G F D
AND THIS SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
IS STIRRING SO RAPIDLY
E G B A F
FEELING'S I'VE NEVER FELT
E G B A F
IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE
C E G F D
THAT SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
C E G F D
THAT SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
E C
IS YOU..

Acoustic guitar and voice. My kinda guy!

Nice melody and I like the quality of the singers voice. I like the simplicity of just the guitar and vocal. Melody carries the song through its changes. I really enjoyed listening to this song great song writing and performance with solid lyrics to pull it through. Very nice thank you for sharing it.

Simply put, this is a well constructed acoustic love song. Great vocals and guitar work. Simple and to the point, well done.

First of all you have a tremendously smooth voice that fits in the mix perfectly. The combination of the acoustic and your vocal it's like peanut butter and jelly, it just goes together well.

Wonderful voice, so well recorded and passionately sung! Some great lyrics. Love the musical change at the bridge. As a friend of mine would say, "this ain't your first rodeo"...keep it up!

Really good song. Great theme and concept.

Very nicely done. I really like the vocal. The lyrics are very nice. The recording is well balanced. It's a very touching song. Good luck with it!!!

A very nicely done intimate song that truly has market potential. I think I was seeing scenes of movies. Boy apart from girl coming to realization that she makes him complete. A perfect song for something like that. Nice job.

Hooked from the opening lines. Felt good with the opening chords, and the singer added to these feelings with a warm tone and straightforward delivery. As the second verse began i could feel the energy in the performance pick up, heard some great variations on the melody and rhythm. The bridge serves its purpose really well, provides a good break from the melody.

You are very up frot with your voice, good job...you don't often hear the words as clear as this song was...no guessing what story you had to tell. Really enjoyed your story.

I liked the feel you created with this. It was laid back and sort of relaxing. I thought the song transitioned well between sections and you had enough variety with the sections to keep things interesting. I liked the singer's voice. His voice had a nice tone and a mellow quality that works well with this kind of music.

good sound on this acoustic track. sounds like a stripped back version of a more rocking song, good vocal style

This song has a great feel to it. You have a lovely, soothing voice and there's a nice sincerity there.

Really good I like it! good vocal tone, you remind me of
John Mellencamp a bit. Sounds good for just guitar and vocals.
