Written for my daughter - party biographical - but she is the real star...
Lyrics
You Ain't Got Me
V1.
You say you’ve got it but I think you know you’ve lost it
I’ll tell you something for sure
When you come to your senses, don’t try and mend my fences
There’s no use knocking on my door
‘Cause for a while - I forgave your bad excuses
I never stopped your rising star
But then you went and left me and tried to disrespect me
That was a step too far
Chorus:
You’ve got everything a boy could ever need
You’ve got power, grace, you’ve got style
You’ve got money to burn; you’ve got a girl on your arm
But you know that makes me smile
‘Cause you ain’t got me
M’mm you ain’t got me
V2.
You seem to forget it but when we first met it
Was me who shaped your dream
You were far too lazy, you said that I was crazy
But crazy was part of my scheme
Did you think when you left I would crumble?
Did you really think that I would fall?
I seriously doubt it ‘cause you’re stupid and you flout it
You don’t think at all
Chorus:
You’ve got everything a boy could ever need
You’ve got power, grace, you’ve got style
You’ve got money to burn; you’ve got a girl on your arm
But you know that makes me smile
‘Cause you ain’t got me
M’mm you ain’t got me
Bridge:
Did you think when you left I would crumble?
Did you really think that I would fall?
I seriously doubt it
‘Cause you’re stupid and you flout it
You don’t think at all
Chorus:
You’ve got everything a boy could ever need
You’ve got power, grace, you’ve got style
You’ve got money to burn; you’ve got a girl on your arm
But you know that makes me smile
‘Cause you ain’t got me
M’mm you ain’t got me
I do like this song. Great melody line. Catchy chorus. And I like the vocals performance.
