Lyrics

'I Just Can't Do It ' - Words & Music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

V.1
I just can't be everything, everything for everyone
I just can't do everything, everything that needs to be done
I just won't be anything, anything but what you see.
I just can't be everything, everything you need me to be.

V.2
I'm not gonna be, be the one, the one to take a fall.
When it's not my back, not my back, that's up against the wall.

Chorus:
I just can't do it....no,no,no
No, I just won't do it anymore
I just can't do it, no I won't
No, I just can't do it no more.
Don't ask me to do it, please just don't
'Cos if you ask me to do it, well, you know I won't
And don't ask me what I'd do it for
'Cos I just don't do it anymore.

Solo:

V.3
When people change, change their mind, it's no big deal
But if I change, I change mine, it's like a poison pill.
.... Been playin' to the crowd, done tryin' to please.
.... Just seems impossible, got me down, down on my knees.

Chorus:
I just can't do it....no no no
No, I just can't do it no more
Don't ask me to do it, please just don't
'Cos I just won't do it anymore.
I just can't do it anymore
I just can't do it anymore.....

Good voicing, melancholy and rich, especially in the harmonies.
Instruments sound a little false, but presentation is good.

Good quality recording. Instrumentation very well engineered.

Really nice recording, and good job with the choir, it sound very good. The guitar solo had some nice licks in it as well.
