-- All eyes on me now--

Verse 1

Well I guess your sorry
that you left me now
you went off
under anothers spell

How do you like
your new man now
how ya like it in
that run down Hotel

Chorus

Now I'm in the spotlight
I'm a risin star
Never knew when my time would come
But all eyes are on me now

Verse 2

I guess it was never
True love for you
you always thought
me a joke

That hard dealin man
You thought was so fine
I hear he
Drinks an he's broke

Chorus

Now I'm in the spotlight
I'm a risin star
Never knew when my time would come
But all eyes are on me now

Verse 3

What do you think of your
Down an out now
you in
Heartache Hotel

Do ya still think
your in heaven Babe
or do you think
you've gone to --- Oh well!

Chorus

Now I'm in the spotlight
I'm a risin star
Never knew when my time would come
But all eyes are on me now

Bridge

Fine cars and beaches
and long winded speeches
and all that
I want to be

Beautiful faces and
Beautiful places
are ahead
in my life for me

Chorus

Now I'm in the spotlight
I'm a risin star
Look behind you girl
never knew when my time would come
But all eyes are on me now

outro

all eyes are on me now

all eyes are on me now

Hi Sabalo

There isn't much I'd change about this at all. I think it's a really good piece and a good interpretation of the assignment. Good story told well.

Can hear the country bit even as I attempted a little play along.

Good stuff

Bob :wink:

Pretty much agree with Bob on this one - I had the Country twang, as you put it, in my head as soon as I started reading. Nice piece of writing, I think you've got a good one here!

:D :D :D

Hi sabalo,

Yeah it was definitely a country groove in my head when reading this. Pretty good really IMO although there was 1 line that for me didn't quite work when compared to the rest of the writing
That hard dealin man
You thought was so fine
I hear he's
Drunk, down, an broke

What your saying is fine I just feel that the line is a little awkward. Maybe something like
That hard dealin man
You thought was so fine
I hear he
drinks and he's broke

Cheers

Paul

Thanks guys and Paul I do like that, making the change right now. I have to get a way to get some of these on line. My melodies take to long to transcribe and I am trying to use this as just what it is. Makes me write a song each week to a prompt. This song sounds really good with the melody. Thanks for the feedback
