Lyrics
She spurts out these silly little words that keep me crawling for more
Throws me out into the night, I wake up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
Every time I hear her voice, I get so confused,
Running here, running there, I don’t know what to do
Every time I’m long gone she drags me back for more
Whispering these silly little words that keep me coming for more
I keep coming back for more, wake up outside her door
Keep coming back for more, waking up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
Every time I’ve had enough she drags me back for more
Tortures and teases me and throws me out the door
I keep coming back for more, wake up outside her door
Keep coming back for more, waking up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
She whispers these silly little words that keep me coming for more
Throws me out into the night, I wake up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
She mumbles these silly little words that keep me coming for more
Throws me out into the night, I wake up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
She spurts out these silly little words that keep me crawling for more
Throws me out into the night, I wake up outside her door
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is a waste of time
Friends say I’m crazy, say I’ve lost my mind, chasing her that way is love that blind

Comments:
I like the idea but feel that using the same lyric for most lines in the verses stops you telling more of the story. Who is the narrator? Who are they singing about?
Maybe try using the show don’t tell method as it will elevate your lyric writing and take you to the next level.
