This came to me today while walking and I thought it was a fun riff. Just tried to come up with some generic ish lyrics but I actually like them haha. I think I may have ripped off "Addicted to Love" and some Joan Jett or Pat Benatar vibes. Recorded this pretty quick so there is some clipping, but I have a sonic vision of it sounding all gritty and 70s like with the organ and a heartbreak solo at the end.
Don’t need a map to know where I’m going
Don’t need a journal to know where I’ve been
Cause I’m right here in front of you baby
Lets roll the dice maybe this time I’ll win
Ooooh be my prize
Ooooh be my prize
Don’t need a teacher to tell me I’m right
Don’t need a doctor to tell me I’m well
Cause I’m right here in front of you baby
The way you look at me puts me through hell
Ooooh be my prize
Ooooh be my prize
You turned around the heads when you walked in the room
Dont pretend it didn’t fill you with pride
You looked me up and down like a hungry wolf
So why dont you come take a bite?
Don’t need a judge to tell me I’m guilty
Don’t need a psychic to tell me it’s true
Cause I’m right here in front of you baby
Let’s do the things that we both wanna do
Ooooh be my prize
Ooooh be my prize
Ooooh be my prize
Ooooh be my prize

Okay, just one more. Really, Love this one too. Man, can you sing, Girl!
Oh, yeah, and the lyrics are spot on too.

This is a great write, and I can see where you could feel it may be a ripoff of addicted to love, but I wouldn't of noticed it had you not pointed it out :D
That organ in the Ooooohhh's is sounds excellent, and its such a great hook! Great track!

Great write: the denials in the verses set the story up wonderfully. Great hook!
I'm hearing horns, here, for the final arrangement.

I am in favour of any song where the word ‘Ooooh’ has four o’s! The ‘Don’t need a…’ is structurally a great hook, and immediately puts it in that general ballpark with the classic rock folks you namechecked (not sure you’re directly ripping anyone off though, think you’re safe). The organ at the start almost purrs (don’t know what you did to it to get it to make that noise, but well done), and then the little funky licks later on are awesome. Really enjoyed this one!!

Awesome! I wouldn't change a word, it's a total home run. Great vocal, sexy blues vibe that matches the lyric perfectly. Sweet licks at the end, excellent organ usage and playing. Just a cracking song that was a lot of fun to listen to! Wish I could put something like this together in a day!
