Snuck out her window
at 2 am
it couldn't wait
she just had to meet a friend
but she got caught when she came back in
mama's asking her 'where ya been'
Tried to say something
anything would help
She tried to blame
her best friend Michelle
but ----she knew that she was caught
next thing she knew her mama yelled
I've got a pretty good
idea of what you did
don't give me pretty lies
Don’t want your pretty lies
I've got a pretty good
idea of what you did
don't give me pretty lies
Don’t want your pretty lies

Lovely moody vocal. Great storytelling. Different take on the prompt. Loved listening. Thanks.
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
A lovey, upbeat song. Beautiful vocals alongside the great rhythms from your guitar.
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Very nice! Good driving acoustic guitar rhythm, and your voice sounds great. Lyrically very strong. A great skirmish!
@apolez3 Feb 2022
Nicely done, sound is good. "pretty lies" is a neat phrase
@artie Feb 2022
I'm so glad you took such an upbeat, rhythmical approach to a situation that can be so frustrating and annoying! :P Great job with this song!
@tcelliott Feb 2022
This sounds great. I like your melody and vocal. This is a well conveyed story in a short bit. That's good writing.
@chroes Feb 2022
That's a different take on this prompt. Very nicely composed, I enjoyed the chorus especially, it's got a good groove!
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
ha, yeah, mama does almost always know! nicely done!
nice delivery of that lyric, too- really nice recording.
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
Excellent take on the skirmish! Phew... my daughter did this once... I scared the living hell out of her... she never dared do it again... but I had a history of it... a long history of it... Guilty as charged. Very relatable and think something should be done with this post-FAWM. Love the performance, perfect melody.
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Yeah, you can't pull anything over on Mama! "Pretty lies" is a neat direction to take the theme.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Ah yes, of course i would never have done that. Er hum. A good lyric and a really nice delivery. Cool chorus. I really enjoyed it.

Oh the memories !
And @whispermouse my Mom just said to me "No decent man will ever want you now" !!!!!!!!!!! Honesty is not always the best policy lol
Love the song Pattie :)
@scruffyblues Feb 2022
This is right up my ally! Love this.
@whispermouse Feb 2022
"I've got a pretty good idea of what you did" - man, my mom was never that honest with me :D
Nice take on the skirmish prompt!
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Mamas always know! LOL Well done - love the repitition in the chorus - great take on the prompt! Good Skirmish!
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
A bouncy, singalong melody and a story that doesn’t quite have to be told. Fun stuff!
@pattie Feb 2022
Yeah I guess it kind is keithcuts LOL..... Still remember the look on my mama's face LOL
@andygriff Feb 2022
Nice bit of storytelling! Great to see so many people taking the prompt and twisting it :)
@keithcuts Feb 2022
this sounds like a true story?
delightful story telling in the lyrics.
I like the honesty in the deception and how you told it in song form
Guitar and vocals work well together to my ear here :)
