Story Behind The Song
This song was created for a tap dancer. The rhythm of the melody especially.
Song Description
I had gotten my heart broken the night before, and then rolled into work the next day where I was employed as a prep cook. My job that day was to cut a bunch of yellow onions for stuffed mushrooms for a wedding. And while I was in the back, crying because of the onions, and crying because I was upset, I wrote this song. It seemed the only way I could get through that tortuous experience.

Lyrics
Always lookin like cats on the prowl
Easy kitty cat don't scratch your way back to the pound
We could barter your momentum to find a warm body to squeeze
With my ability to be bold, and oh I aim to please
You, please let me please you
I'll be racing the sunshine into the dark
That's when you get off work and we work on making sparks
Singing love
I want a big big love
Oh a big big love
From you
They're out there writing songs for all the ones they want to be their lover
Under the covers
Trading equal services for the goods
I'll serenade you to sleep we go camping in the woods
Singing love
I want a big big love
Oh a big big love
From you
You have a tent, a dog and a cat, and a family I'm guessing that won't consent
But c'mon sweet stuff show me your instincts
You think this is something you could possibly pursue
Be laid on back, gonna be good for you
Easy as pie, delicious as this is the quality time we could be spending
Together - life is way too short
Not to be reading books, and cookin and lookin at pictures
There's absolutely no rush, by the way you left your green toothbrush at my house
I apologize for your magnetism
How I mean all the things that I say
I love you in the morning, honey we're like velcro
Let's expand this space & give the world a taste of
Yesterday I dug the way you walked
Like a cowboy you fold your towels like my mama taught me to be
Sweet, and reap the benefits of a good love
Can you just humor me baby & give me your big big love
Cause I am your onion cutter
Why am I your onion cutter?
Why I cry over you?
Why do I cry over you?
