2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Something for me by Debra Lyn Neufeld

Lyrics

My baby’s love can make
A butterfly flutter
Cause a ripple to shimmy
Shake and shutter

My baby can make
a wild horse growl
See the stars from the gutter
as they sparkle and shine

Chorus

I’m feeling so fine
My baby’s mine all mine
I never thought love and me
would ever crave our name on a tree

My baby’s love can make
honey drip from a rose
Buzz the wings off a bee
nectar and sweet

My baby’s love can make
sense from a penny
Steal your heart
when you ain’t got any
Something for me

Bio

Debra Lyn creates a mood full of energy. Rich vocal tone that sounds like smooth leather worn with time and a range to hard driven blues that scuff a dance floor.

Before moving to Winnipeg, Debra Lyn grew up near the rolling hills of Southern Manitoba. “I heard Koko Taylor sing ‘Voodoo Woman’. It changed things for me. It was like waking up with blues, good and bad.”

Debra Lyn taught herself to play guitar at 30. Writing songs came naturally soon after. Songs written from her soul, strong and true lyrics, in the surreal language of the blues. You’ll hear “wild horses growl, thunder threatens the skies and ragdolls dance.”
