i put a little spin on this four tops classic to suit my inclinations. 

peppermint oil face cream every morning
quirky shirt statements for every occasion
convos for every grocery store associate
cares for the underdog kids at the highschool
sings at the drop of a hat every day
always finds something kind to say
loves me for all of the way that i am
puts the moves on me makes me feel like a man
words of affirmation is her loving language
she'll light one up any time she can manage
brings me a drink when it's hot outside
knows what she wants and lays it on the line
messages her family and keeps up with her friends
early in the morning wakes me up with a grin
best damn woman that i ever seen
the illustrious velumptuous monika j. jean

ain't no woman (like the one i got)

lyrics

Deep down is a spring
A spring of eternity
Even when it ends
It never is the end
Impatient no more
Impatient no more

Rest assured
I'll always be with you
Nothing can separate

Deep down is a well
A well of forever
Even when it dries
A new flood arrives
Impatient no more
Impatient no more

Rest assured
I'll always be with you
Nothing can separate

no more

impatient no more

Lyrics:
Well, the sun sets low on a dusty road,
And life feels heavy like a stranger's load.
But if you take a moment, just breathe it in,
You’ll find a touch of light where the shadows begin.

One little hour of hope a day,
Try it if you can, let the worries fade away.
Help someone else, maybe help yourself,
Bring a smile to another face, let love be wealth.

You see the pain in the world, it lingers like a song,
But laughter echoes softly, reminding us to be strong.
Share a story, share a drink, let kindness flow,
We’re all in this together, let the good vibes grow.
   
The stars keep shining above the noisy strife,
We find our peace in the simple joys of life.
So, hold a hand, lift a soul, that’s how we find our way,
In this crazy world, one hour can turn to gray.

So, take that hour, let love be your guide,
With just a little hope, we can turn the tide.
One little hour of hope a day,
We’ll find our way together, come what may.

One Hour of Hope

raspberry

Verse 1
Don't despair if you're in Saint Tropez, 
Where there's so much sun, with the rich on vacation
I flew here to escape with no tear,
Ran away from love and all the frustration.

If you wanna find new love in your life
Just pack your bags, drop everything and head to Cote d'Azur.
I loved you, but you didn’t want me as your true cure.
Now I’ll find real love right here, on the beach Côte d’Azur.

Verse 2
Found a place
Where I don’t need to care
With a book and wine
In the shade by the seaside
Hear the waves
Telling me I’m just fine
No one asks me why
There’s no more need to hide

Men smile at me and gently ask if I’m alone
And say they’ve never seen a girl like me, that I’m perfection
But I just laugh and slowly sip my sweet rosé wine
At least they truly care and show me really attention

Chorus:
Adieu, my darling baby, I’ll forget about you
I’m leaving you, so go be happy with someone else
Adieu, don’t send me messages and don’t call me too
I’m tired of unrequited love, this hopeless  romance

Verse 3
You just watched as I was torn apart,
Guess you never cared for my one confession
But I’ve healed the deep wounds on my heart,
Now I'm free from love and all that obsession.

I gave it everything I had, and then let it go
You see I’m doing fine without your false, fake affection
I lost my faith in you, but now I’m just moving on
I wish you all the love and not a single rejection.
 
Chorus_____________"

Chorus 1.
Adieu, my baby, our relationship wasn't true
I was just a toy for you, a marionette in your hands
Adieu, don't send me letters, I’ll forget about you
I'm tired of the deception, of this foolish romance

Adieu!

BE A LITTLE NICER TO HIM

If a guy wants to dance with you more,
he´s interested, you can be sure,
and if he´s adorable, wonderful,
he gets into your heart forever.

Be a little nicer to him
show your feelings
deep inside.  ( 2 )

Just as he was coming
behind my back,
he knocked me on my shoulder,
asked me for a dance.

I was dancing on that floor,
wanted him to hold me
just a little more.  ( 2 )

POP | SPACEROCK | VAPORTRAP | TRIP-HOP
AMBIENT | EXPERIMENTAL

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
