I tried to write a song that was one continuous hook. Not sure if that is the end result but I'm happy with the result. Short and sweet!
Definitely channeled early Beatles and Harry Nilsson here as well.
The other night you said you loved me truly dear
The other night you said that we would last the years
But I’m suspecting it ain’t all rosy flowers
It’s been hours since I thought you would appear
And meet me here
I’m so lonely stirring my straw
Every other lover surely has it all
But me, do-do-do
Little old me can’t get it right
Oh baby baby baby baby take me back to the other night
The other night you said the sandman sang you sonnets in your sleep
The other night you said you heard the ocean’s lonesome melodies
But it’s not natural to drown forever everybody’s got to wash up on that beach
Or so so speak
You’re so pretty telling me off
Any other fool would probably get out and walk
Oh not me, do-do-do
Little old me can’t pick a fight
Oh baby baby baby baby take me back to the other night

Love your voice. Fun ditty. And it is indeed hooky!! Could hear that “do-do-do” thing kicking in for a crowd/pleaser sing-along outro for this tune.
