NEVER BE THE LIKES OF YOU are Lyrics to thank a friend to so many of us who love Local Music and Song in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area: Kevin Radley is wonderful in his generosity with Song; Music Arrangements/Gigs/Songs/support for others/ and all-time kindness and fun! I hope he'll find the Song for these lyrics...if not, of course, he will graciously let them go like a bird freed into the skies!....

#208 1001 Nights: LYRICS: NEVER BE THE LIKES OF YOU
Reply |Kathleen Everitt to Kevin, Dennis


Kevin: here's the song...the guy is based very loosely on you, since I
don't know you well enough to write a song you might relate to as
being more true to your character as a person...I thought maybe you
could hear its song some way...any way, they're yours if you want
them...I'll post them on the blog anyways, either way you decide and
all...
Your Friend,
Kat


NEVER BE THE LIKES OF YOU

I could be your brother and your best friend true -
I might be your loved one or your lover man too -
I suspect I can listen just as easy as I sing -
I believe you could trust me in most anything...

But I won't be your fool tho I act like a clown:
That's just to bring a laugh there for ya
When you're feelin' down...
I won't be your boss man - I won't be your King -
I'll try not lie about every damn thing....
__________

CHORUS:

You can really hold me - I'll hold you right back -
I might give you anything I have that you might lack -
But I won't give my soul or all of my heart...
Hope that's enough, Woman...
Hope that's enough...
Hope I'm enough, My Darlin':
True....
__________

I've played up on this Stage of Life with passion and with song -
Strummed these guitars through good times gone so wrong -
Welcomed in good mornin's and some wild nights too -
Never tried to love so hard with anyone but you...

And I won't let you down though the moon's gone black:
I swear to you my darlin' Woman: I will bring it back...
I'll make the sun go shinin' and lots of rainbows too:
I'm a man full of heart songs - sing most of them for you....
__________

CHORUS
