Lyrics

I'm Taking Care of Me
© 2003, 2009 Words and Music by Warren Hein

Verse 1
While having lunch today
A friend of mine brought up your name
I laughed I'm over you
That smile you hid behind
I thought I knew from other guys
This time it took too long to see


But I learned one thing from you
I'm taking care of me.

Verse 2
You promised we were lovers
And then you found another
You broke my heart
All your lies
How'd I miss them in your eyes?
I cried but those tears washed me clean

If I learned one thing from you
I'm taking care of me

Bridge
What a joke you tried that kiss
I turned my head and made you miss
I had my pride you looked so surprised
As I turned and walked away
That train's whistle seemed to say
Hang on girl you know you'll love again
And I love again

Verse 3
Now when I hear your name
I shrug it off I'm not the same
I'm over you
Yes a painful lesson
But no expensive sessions
Just my own simple therapy

Outro
I learned one thing from you
I'm taking care of me
I learned one thing from you
I'm taking care of me
Yes I learned one thing from you
I'm taking care of me

nice emotion, nicely melodic, well sung. Would have a place in the right movie or TV scene, particularly with the dramatic ending

Really great lyrical content...easy to follow but deep enough to keep you riveted. The hook "I'm taking care of me" is really quite brilliant. Vocalist is convincing and the mix clearly shows the dynamics of all involved.

Wow! love the song.... love the the voice...... Very confident!!!

I like the lyrics and the song great build up and the feel of the song

beautiful and moving performance.

Another home run (or grand slam) Warren!! Just love the concept of the song, and you deliver it soooooo well!! Another gem my friend!!

Nice country song. Enjoyed the strong Vocal performance and hearing every word. Subtle but powerful piano. Enjoyed it!

This is a very good pretty song. Great hook. I love the key change after the bridge.

Great lyrics. Reminds me of a Sheryl Crow type song. Like it.

Loved the arrangement and instrumentation and the subject matter.

Truly a sweet piece of country music.

great lyrics, and the perfect melody

Very nice soothing vocals! I liked at the end, the vocals got a bit stronger!! Loved the simple piano background!!! Great job!!

Beautiful melody, well crafted song. Great vocal & piano work.

KIller writer demo. Just loved it wonderful bridge...loved the modulation.

I write a lot of the AABA format songs and really like that format for this type of song. Very interesting vocalist, I like it....very different. Very fresh hook. Good work!

Good song, great lyrics, vocals are really good, like the harmonies.

Nice piano and voice.

Rivetting piano start.
Top quality vocal and rich harmonies.
Original key change in second half.

Nicely arranged song and instrumentation. It's the ideal length for commercial appeal. I liked the how it flowed.

Super song! Everything's perfect; the idea, the lyric, the melody and the vocals.

Like the piano... good vocal

The singer has a beautiful voice--lovely tone & good control. Pianist is good. Recording is clear. Melody is pretty and well crafted. I like the bridge. Lyrics are ok.
