about

One of my dad's friends tried to hook me up with this girl named Belinda. She seemed to like me but I didn't hit it off with her. We dated a couple times and that was about it. And no, I didn't “do it with her” like the song suggests. It's just a basic, gut bucket rock and roll kind of tune that I liked listening to at the time; and I wrote a few song along those lines. The story, in itself, is a bit of an odd way of doing things, going from 1st person to 3rd person and back and forth again. I didn't exactly do this on purpose, but I didn't feel like rewriting the tune to have it make grammatical sense. I liked the song too much for singing purposes to change it. In other words, the words flowed off my tongue easily singing these lines.

This is song #186.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I SAW HER WALKING DOWN THE STREET ONE DAY, BELINDA.
I TOLD THAT GIRL TO WALK THIS WAY, BELINDA.
I SHOUTED TO THAT CHICK, HEY WHAT CAN YOU DO? BELINDA.
COME RIGHT HERE AND I'LL MAKE IT WITH YOU, BELINDA.
WHAT SHE DOES, SHE DOES IT WITH ME, BELINDA.

I WENT TO HER HOUSE JUST THE OTHER NIGHT, BELINDA.
YOU WERE WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND, HOLDIN' HIM TIGHT, BELINDA.
YOU GOT ANGRY AND TOLD HIM TO LEAVE, BELINDA.
MAYBE NOW I CAN SUCCEED, BELINDA.
WHAT SHE DID SHE DID IT WITH ME, BELINDA.

WHEN I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS, BELINDA.
I KNEW THAT YOU'LL DO ME NO HARM, BELINDA.
WE WENT OUT AND WE HELD HANDS, BELINDA.
IT WAS A LOVE TO UNDERSTAND, BELINDA.
WHAT SHE DO SHE DO IT WITH ME, BELINDA. OW!
(SOLO)
WE BROKE UP JUST YESTERDAY, BELINDA.
YOU SAID YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY, BELINDA.
YOU LEFT ME IN MISERY, BELINDA.
WHY YOU LEFT IS A MYSTERY, BELINDA.
WHAT SHE DONE, SHE DONE IT WITH ME, BELINDA, BELINDA,
WO, BELINDA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
