Sketch. I probably need to tighten this up and do a bit of rewriting, but I need a melody first. Open for collabs. I have no particular style or genre in mind.
She Belongs To Nobody
© Morten Maehre, 2022
The spider of doubt has spun its threads
Her poison is still deep inside my head
And every time I think that my soul is saved
Something reminds me that I’m still enslaved
I drink alone and burn the midnight oil
Cheers, new lover, to the victor go the spoils
Treat her kindly, or I’ll be at your door
Although she has made it clear I’m no-one anymore
Chorus:
She belongs to nobody
She’s a woman of her own
Forceful and immense
And she’ll never be alone
She knows how to twist the minds of men everywhere
And the place where I’m at, man, I’d hate to see you there
Waiting on a platform for a long-gone train
I wish I could break free of her chains
Now it’s your turn, bud, just give it a shot
Let’s drink to the future, after all that’s all we’ve got
Chorus:
She belongs to nobody
She’s a woman of her own
Forceful and immense
And she’ll never be alone
She knows how to twist the minds of men everywhere
And the place where I’m at, man, I’d hate to see you there
Bridge:
Of course, you might get lucky
Perhaps you’ll never lose
But somehow I doubt it
You’ll soon be in my shoes
Chorus:
She belongs to nobody
She’s a woman of her own
Forceful and immense
And she’ll never be alone
She knows how to twist the minds of men everywhere
And the place where I’m at, man, I’d hate to see you there

Wow! These are really great lyrics. They're perfect for a wrenching blues song full of emotion. The loss and inability to move on is palpable in these fine words. Impressive lyrics. Love them!

This lyric is intense! I'd love to see somebody take it, you've got some real substance here. That first verse in particular is money. I enjoyed the warn-the-next-person point of view.
