Name: Requited
Duration: P00H02M27S
Description: This song was written for Edric Haleen's Songwriting Cycle #3, in which I was challenged by Graham Porter to write a song whose lyrics never repeat a single word through its entirety. I did take a little liberty with the doo-wop backing vocals, but let's face it... that shit ain't words.

lyrics

Nothing gets much better than this
Usually something goes amiss
But lately we make great chemistry
Some unforeseen unseasonal bliss

Inspired, excited
Desired, delighted me

After those eyes meet mine tonight
Blood pressures rise, lips nervously bite
Despite my slight fright, it's quite a nice sight
One touch of your skin means I'll be alright

Exotic, intoxicating
Amazing you

Tremendous, fulfilling
Stupendous and thrilling
Believed in, invited
Received, then requited, love
