Girl on Grrl Action

"i tried to get her back 

but she said no

said she hated that i 

cheated and cheated 

and told me so

i tried to get her back 

she still said no

said that life with you 
was better somehow

and told me so

she only wants you

she only wants you my friend

you're not half the man i am

still she only wants you"

this is loosely based on a true series of events. . .

during a brief encounter with a temporary "dance"

partner, i got entangled with her ex. the relationship was

definitely not serious, but her ex certainly was.

one day this ex corners me in a club.

she then looks at me in a mocking indifference

and says "i don't know what the hell you're doing to her

but she only wants you. " and as she grabbed her

crouch and rolled her eyes, it was clear she felt

she lost the best thing she ever had. and to me of all people!!!

well, i took that gem of a moment in lesbian drama 

and turned it around putting myself in her shoes.

or adidas as it were. and the end result - 

"She Only Wants You". 

the pulsing tension of the walking bass line represents the
ex writhing with jealousy at the new thing getting busy with la femme du jour. 

the staccato bass during the verses represent the clinched teeth through
which the ex communicates her seething yet controlled anger.

since the relationship was purely sexual, i envisioned the

ex losing her mind and hoping of a better day:

(bridge)

"she will be mine, some day,

i will win her back some way,

she will be mine, it's just a matter of time

we'll be sitting back 
sweet sixty-nine

but now i consign. . . 

i know how much she fucks 

when she only wants you.

know what, whatever."

Rock Hard. Rock Sexy.

Dirty Li'l Elements of Style

As the Mama's Dirty Li'l Song production team continues to churn out soul punk songs for your listening pleasure, see if you can guess who wrote what.

The Deacon travels internally exploring feelings of doubt and confusion with no resolution in sight (ie. "Why Don't You Love Me", "When I Sell My Soul", "Who Am I" ).

Damn channels rock's golden bravado of blatant sexuality and love gone bad (ie. "I, Confess", "She Only Wants You" and the fist-pumping chorus "Hell 2the No").

As the months progress, fans are encouraged to place their bets and guess:
     "Which of the Two Wrote That Song for You"!!!

Good luck and tell us why you think who wrote what.

Rock Hard. Rock Sexy.
