Whatever You Like-T.I. Cover

This song was inspired by the Van Morrison's tune, “Gloria.” But that song has a three chord progression, and I wanted to do less than that, so I cut this song down to a two chord progression. The verses, solo, and choruses follow the same rhythm pattern through out the song. It's about as simple as it can get. The vocals are a screamer, and I'm trying to record as many songs as possible that I've written that are getting more and more difficult to sing the older I get. Hopefully I'll have all these songs recorded before I turn 50. If not, I may need to find someone else who can pull these kind of vocals off. This song was also inspired by The Pre CCR group, The Golliwogs song “Brown-Eyed Girl” which has nothing to do with Van Morrison's song by the same name.

This is song #103.

I ONCE HAD A GIRL

NOW I JUST WANT TO SAY,
I  MET A GIRL ON A SPECIAL DAY.
THIS GIRL WAS GOOD. THIS GIRL WAS BAD.
SHE WAS A GIRL I WISH I HAD.

SO I SAID, “HELLO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?”
SHE'S A GIRL THAT I COULDN'T TAME.
SHE'S A TIGER, A REAL GO-GETTER. 
SHE'S MY KIND OF GIRL. SHE MAKES ME FEEL MUCH BETTER.

NOW I ONCE HAD, HAD A GIRL.
I ONCE HAD A GIRL. OH, HO, HO. NO, NO, NO.
(SOLO)
THE ONLY ONE TO CARE FOR ME
HAS GONE AWAY AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.
THERE'S NO MORE TO SAY. IT'S OVER AND DONE.
I'VE LOST A GIRL, MY ONLY ONE.

NOW I ONCE HAD, HAD A GIRL.
I ONCE HAD A GIRL. OH, HO, HO. NO, NO, NO.
NOW I ONCE HAD, HAD A GIRL.
I ONCE HAD A GIRL. OH, HO, HO. NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO. NO, NO, NO, NO.

I ONCE HAD A GIRL

IMAGES I SEE OF YOU AND ME,
EVERYTHING SO CLEAR, EVERYTHING SINCERE,
AND I LOVE YOU.

IMAGES OF YOU, WITHOUT US TWO.
THE THINGS WE HAD SHARED, I THOUGHT YOU CARED.
STILL I LOVE YOU.

OH MY LOVE IS TRUE.
ALL I WANT IS YOU.
BUT NOW YOU'VE GONE AWAY,
MY IMAGES ARE THROUGH.
(SOLO)
IMAGES I'VE HAD MADE ME SO SAD.
MY IMAGES HAVE DIED AND I CRIED.

IMAGES

EVERYBODY LOVES THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. 
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GIVE HER MORE. 
ANY WAY YOU WANT IT, ANY WAY YOU PLEASE, 
SHE’LL GO DOWN ON HANDS AND KNEES. 
ALL SHE WANTS IS A MAN LIKE YOU OR ME. 

EVERYBODY LOVES THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. 
ALL SHE DOES IS GIVE YOU MORE. 
SHE’LL GIVE YOU A NIGHT OF ENDLESS PLEASURE. 
SHE’LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR LEISURE. 
ALL SHE NEEDS IS A MAN THAT SHE CAN PLEASE. 
(SOLO) 
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET AHEAD. 
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR THEY’LL TAKE INSTEAD. 
EVERY LITTLE BOY, EVERY GROWN MAN, 
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR THEY CAN’T UNDERSTAND. 
SHE’S THE BEST KIND OF GIRL FOR ALL WHO CAN.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

Anymore was originally written and debuted on my album “Someone’s Shelly” in 1999. This recording is my acoustic version.

Anymore

This is a place where I'll try and upload one new, original song I wrote and performed for up to one year. Hope you enjoy the some of the sounds...
