I struggled with this one a bit! Starting out as a cute melodic acoustic tune some years ago, I updated it and added some bits in 2021. I decided to try and toughen it up with a harder full band sound, but it still came out a bit too sweet! Oh well, I think it's got something about it, some energy and maybe some nice hooks, but let's see what the world thinks!
SOMETIMES LOVE
Take these words
For all they’re worth
In this mad world
You mean the earth
So tell me why
And tell me how
These city lights
Are dimming now?
CHORUS
On a scale of one to ten
We go down and up again
Crazy love
Stupid love
Sometimes love
For you
It’s a game
We like to play
We take it slow
Then run away
You loved me once
Just yesterday
But now your heart
Has gone astray
CHORUS
Why’s it always like this?
Will we never learn?
Going round in circles
Falling out in turn
Hold that thought
I got there first
A final speech
That I’ve rehearsed
So come on back
Don’t hesitate
And though it’s dark
It’s not too late
CHORUS
On a scale of one to ten
We go down and up again
Crazy love
Stupid love
Sometimes love
Precious love
Always love
For you
Sometimes love
Sometimes love
Etc
