A bit of 60's inspired pop.
Lyrically a bit of that era as well.
She's got you in a spell
That's a bad place to be
You need to know as well
She's been talking to me
But I see through the smile
Though it took me quite a while
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that
She plays around the town
Every Saturday night
She'll give herself to anyone
If they treat her right
Love and romance ain't her thing
She needs to hear the ching, ching, ching
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that
She'll steal your heart
And treat you like her pet
But when you part
You're just another she'll forget
Throw away your bouquet
And tell her you're through
Turn around and walk away
She won't care about you
She'll find another guy
And make him buy, buy, buy
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl
You don't take flowers to a girl like that

So spot on! I love the chorus. And that twangy guitar sound! So 60's. You definitely nailed the genre! Very clever lyrics.
ps. your choice of art work for the songs is great as well.
@mattoxic Feb 2022
Excellent lyrics...
She needs to hear the ching, ching, ching
And make him buy, buy, buy
So so very 1966. Brilliantly done. If you released this then you'd be a household name today.

This is awesome! Sooo 60’s, both in sound and lyrics. Really clever write as well as the whole sound you’ve managed to capture. Loved it from start to finish.

Great! You nailed it. I thought I was listening to the Cowsills or someone. Awesome idea for a song too. Love everything!
@jessicamoon Feb 2022
Wow I love this, great sound! I love the undercurrent of sadness and heartbreak. Awesome arrangement with the guitar too

"She's got you in a spell, That's a bad place to be" all by itself, this is a great opening. Following up with the fact that she's also been talking to you? Love it! And really like the lyric build in a chorus.
Mad props for the distinct musical sections. I can appreciate a song that uses the same 2 or 3 chords for the verse and chorus (I try to write 'em like that ALL the time). But I am knocked out when the intro is different from the verse is different from the pre-chorus is different from the chorus. Great job on this composition.

Yeah i get that 60s feel. I to love that jangle. Nice the way you sing well away from the instruments. Very good indeed
@radioovermoscow Feb 2022
That chord change in the last line of the chorus is great.
@tseaver Feb 2022
Nice write: the period feel of both the lyric and the arrangement go together well. The jangle of the 12-string is perfect for the vibe.
@jonmeta Feb 2022
You have a brilliant knack for well-placed minor chords in an essentially major-key song that refresh without pulling the song into a darker place. This has a highly singable, memorable refrain where repetition is a good thing.. Very nice classic lead guitar figure for the fills. This is a real gem, Panch.
@andybalham Feb 2022
You've really nailed the 60s feel here. Really top notch production and arrangement. The lyrics is very well-developed too. Sweet guitar solo to boot. Great job.
