Story behind the song
The original was my friend's first ever record. It was also sent by Elvis to his wife Priscilla from Germany and Kenny Rogers named his twin children after P&P - so I'm assuming one of each! It was a song I remembered well and I thought a rewrite would be a good idea (I have some STRANGE ideas!). But I also thought 'time for a dance track' and let's bring the story into the modern era, although I couldn't resist a nostalgic, slightly tongue-in-cheek touch too. The listener can decide which bit is which for themselves. I did an earlier, longer solo version (summer 2009) which included some rapping which I might put up here too. But it was never a finished version, I just know some people are interested in song development.
Lyrics
Sung against a backdrop of touch my body, body, Touch my heart Touch my body, body, Touch my soul v1 Hey! Paula I want to make love to you Hey! Hey! Paula Hold you all night through Tell you I love you, whisper in your ear Take all your troubles away, my love, my love v2 Hey! Paul I want to kiss you in June, (in) The Fall and December, in fact all year through I want to be what you want me to be Cos I know you'll take care of me, my love, my love etc. middle8 I wanna touch you where it matters to you I want to love you all our lives through In good times and tough times and sad times you know We'll love in the sunshine and all through the snow REPEAT VERSE1 except Paula, I'll always be there for you more than I realised!

Wow...who knew that mixing the retro 60's with the music of today would produce such a sound?? Very different and cool! Fantastic! :)

I like it when people take chances with their music and do something different! Very different styles of music mixed together. Rock on! :)

I like what you have done here, it is very original and a pleasant change from most of the other stuff out there that all sounds the same. Originality is the key! Nice work!

I can hear the retro elements and I like the modern additions - a nice complimentary interaction between the two.
