I NEED YOU NOW
2025 Cooper Jones

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

I tell you what I’m dealin’ with
A fierce deep-rooted feelin’ with
Only one conclusion
And you’re the one solution (stop)

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

An overwhelming sensation
Craving for pure elation
Is consuming my whole being
I know what would stop me reelin’

For this kind of fever
You are my pain reliever
Don’t need a diagnosis
Just you in great big doses
 
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow

Instr.

I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
You better get here quick, and I don’t care how
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now
‘Cos you’re the bee’s knees baby and the cat’s meow


I Need You Now

CROCUS POCUS
(c) 2025 Cooper Jones

VERSE 
Frost covers every garden lawn
The trees are bare, with nothing going on 
Mother nature’s cast a cloak in grey 
Waiting for a warm sunny day

VERSE 
Then a speck of purple appears overnight 
A dot of yellow, a smidge of white 
Only one at first, a second, a third
Before you know it, they’ve grown a whole herd 

CHORUS 
Crocus Pocus 
Magic time
Watch them reach up to the sky 
Crocus Pocus 
Here they come
Heralding that winter’s done

VERSE 
Our patience through the coldest months
Is paid off and rewarding us
The happy buds with pretty heads
Are waking from their chilly beds

CHORUS
Crocus Pocus 
Magic time
Watch them reach up to the sky 
Crocus Pocus 
Here they come
Heralding that winter’s done

BRIDGE 
Bringing hope this time of year
That early Springtime soon is here 
Renewal and rebirth are cast
Look forward and forget the past

Snowdrops and gold daffodils
Will scatter soon over the hills
Tulips and bluebells in pastures
Won’t detract from your minute stature

CHORUS
Crocus Pocus 
Magic time
Watch them reach up to the sky 
Crocus Pocus 
Here they come
Heralding that winter’s done

Crocus Pocus

WHERE THE WILD THINGS BLOOM
© 2025 Cooper Jones

VERSE 
They grow where no one planted seeds
Between the cracks, among the weeds
No garden walls, no perfect place
With golden hearts and violet grace

VERSE 
They don’t get watered, they don’t get praise
But still rise up through summer days 
The bees will know just where to land
No map, no rules, they understand 

CHORUS   
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume 
Where the wild things bloom

VERSE 
Poppy, Daisy, Dandelion
Ignore a world that rushes by ‘em
Every stem a quiet stand
Against the grip of human hands

CHORUS 
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume 
Where the wild things bloom

BRIDGE  
We pave and prune, we trim and tame
Then ask why butterflies don’t stay
But life won’t wait for neat straight rows
More grows in the garden than the gardener sows 

CHORUS 
Where the wild things bloom
Untamed, untuned
They fragrance the air with their fair perfume  

REPRISE
Where the wild things bloom
Anywhere there’s room 
They’re born from the warm Mother Nature’s womb
Where the wild things bloom


More grows in the garden than the gardener sows—
Spanish proverb

Where The Wild Things Bloom

A CAUTIOUS OPTIMIST’S GUIDE TO FALLING OVER (Cooper/Jones)
© 2025 All Rights Reserved

I can stumble with the best of ‘em
I can tumble with the rest of ‘em
Trip the light fantastic
Over tight, outstretched elastic

I can wobble like a moulded jelly
I can hobble, sink, flop on my belly
Do a double backward somersault
While dropping down from a pole vault

Yeah, I can duck and dive, slip and slide
In any place or space, like a man possessed
I can lean or lurch, jump off my perch
Zippin’ through the air with zeal and zest
I know I’m always gonna land softly in clover
Followin’ a cautious optimist’s guide to falling over

I can be thrown about from side to side
As colleagues collapse and collide
Lose control and start careerin’
Wavin’, drownin’, spinnin’ veerin’

I’m not as steady as I might hope
As I balance on life’s tightrope
Head over heels, base over apex
Hittin’ the dust or hittin’ the decks

Yeah, I can duck and dive, slip and slide
In any place or space, like a man possessed
I can lean or lurch, jump off my perch
Zippin’ through the air with zeal and zest
I know I’m always gonna land softly in clover
Followin’ a cautious optimist’s guide to falling over

I’m not as steady as I might hope
As I balance on life’s tightrope
Head over heels, base over apex
Hittin’ the dust or hittin’ the decks


A Cautious Optimist's Guide to Falling Over

ROM-COMS AND OTHER LIES
2025 Cooper Jones


VERSE  
He’s got picture-book good looks 
A Michelin star restaurant cook 
Symmetrical and in proportion, always taller never shorter 
Compliments her, knows her worth, is ready to commit to her 
And never disappoints her 
If he does it’s in the name of love

CHORUS
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
He’s handsome, manly, sensitive 
Somehow knows her love language 
Can land a punch like the best of ‘em
But outshines all the rest of ‘em
Somehow single or mismatched 
Either way one heck of a catch
Knows how to dress, no wayward stains 
He’s Mr Neat, rugged untamed 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

BIRDGE  
Some ladies get lucky, some ladies get sad, when their hubby don’t fit the perfect man
Some ladies are wise some ladies will know
There ain’t no garden variety men just the type that real life grows…

VERSE 
He’d never pick a fight be heartless 
Always take the blame regardless  
Custom made only for you to win your heart, propose to you
He’s a dab-hand at the dishes and fulfills all your wishes 
Of course he’d be good in bed but never pester or expect

CHORUS 
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact

VERSE 
You would not imagine he’d leave socks upon the floor
Or leave his empties everywhere, never shirk a chore 
He would have telepathy, be  trained in massage therapy
A natural born leader but still earnin’ good money 

CHORUS  
In rom-coms and other lies 
The girl always gets the guy 
He’s good, he’s kind, he’s strong, he’s brave 
The unsung hero of his day
You grow up to believe it’s true 
That someone great, will wait for you 
It doesn’t work out quite like that can we sort fiction from the fact



Rom-Coms and Other Lies

SILENCE CAN NEVER BE MISQUOTED (Cooper/Jones) 
© 2025 All Rights Reserved

I know you’re afraid and it makes you nervous 
You’re a victim now and they did it on purpose
If it’s their fault, don’t you make it known 
You always go too far with your insults thrown

You shoot from the hip, without ever thinking
With no regard, to who might be listening 
But that’s how you start up the gossip mill 
Chinese whispers circulate and then cause ill will 

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted 

Hold your tongue is what they used to say
Think twice before you press send nowadays
There’ll be no regrets for what you spread
If you keep your words tight inside your head 

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted 

I know you feel hurt and you wanna lash out 
But try and remember these sage words
You can’t erase the way you made someone feel 
Sayin’ sorry just won’t work

Some things are better left unsaid 
Then they can’t be taken out of context 
See others won’t repeat what’s unspoken
‘Cos silence can never be misquoted

Our Destiny

INSIDE OUT 
(c)2017 Gwyn Jones & Georgie Cooper 

Verse 1
You said to me last night 
That something wasn’t right 
You felt pushed away and that upset me 
I’d had a busy day 
Things hadn’t gone my way 
I was gonna tell you but you didn’t let me 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF 

Verse 2 
So whilst you’re sitting there 
I wanna clear the air 
If you felt shut out then I’m really sorry 
Let me give you a kiss 
Then let me tell you this 
You have absolutely no reason to worry 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF 

Verse 3 
Little problems come and go 
I’m not perfect that I know 
But you’re the rock I always need to lean on 
If life ever gets me down 
Just to know that you’re around 
Gives me the strength I need so much to keep on 

CHORUS
For you know what I’m about 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I hold you closely and most dearly 
And you know without a doubt 
‘Cos you know me inside out 
You know I love you truly and sincerely 

RIFF

Inside Out

ME TIME
(c) 2017 Georgie Cooper
Music by Gwyn Jones

VERSE
You know I love you baby
You know I love you, I do and I prove it, every day...um hmmm

But sometimes I gotta put back 
I gotta put back, what I give, coz I give it out every day...um hmmm

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand
it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

VERSE
I know what I have 
What I have, that’s you and I tell you that, every day...um hmmm

I don’t wanna lose ya
I won’t lose ya, wanna do what’s right by you, every day...um hmmm

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand, it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

BRIDGE
It might not make sense
Please don’t take offence
It’s just this thing I do
When I need to regroup 

CHORUS
I need some me time
So we can have us time 
I need to be on my own 
So we can spend time alone 
I hope you understand, it’s all good
I need time so I can find
My way back to you

Me Time

YOU ALWAYS HAD A BOYFRIEND
2017 Georgie Cooper & Gwyn Jones

VERSE
I was 16 when we first met
Back then on your daddy’s farm 
In flannel shirts we wore our hair long
We talked about bands and listened to rock

PreChorus
At summer’s end I went home to my family 
My young head full & my poor heart empty  

CHORUS
I had a crush on you then
But you always had a boyfriend 
To you I was only a friend 
Coz you always had a boyfriend 

VERSE
I was 18 when we met again
I was working on your daddy’s farm
You and your friends took me under your wing
At parties I’d play the guitar and we’d sing 

PreChorus
At summer’s end I went home to my family 
My young head full and my poor heart empty  

CHORUS
I was sweet on you then
But you always had a boyfriend 
You couldn’t see how I felt 
Coz you always had a boyfriend 

At 21 our paths crossed again
A long way from your Daddy’s farm
We both sang at an open mic
And we ended up playing together all night

At summer’s end I went home to your family
My young head full and my old heart happy
 
I was in love with you then
And you didn’t have a boyfriend
When I told you how I felt
You said I’d always be your boyfriend

You Always Had A Boyfriend

WHAT YOUR EYES ARE SAYING 
(c) 2017 Georgie Cooper & David Gwyn Jones

You hold me closely…to calm all my fears
Tell me don’t worry…and dry all my tears
Try to console me…reassure me you’re stayin’
But that’s not what your eyes are sayin’

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied

You whisper softly…there’s no need to doubt
Your true intentions…each time you go out
But body language…has a way of conveyin’
And it’s not what your eyes are sayin’

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied

BRIDGE  

CHORUS
Cause your eyes betrayed you 
They gave you away 
They said you’re unfaithful 
Will cause me heartache 
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied
Yes your eyes reveal 
What you’re tryin to hide 
When you said you loved me…ya lied
