about

This was the first version of this song. It's different in flavor than the version I finished 22 years later in my home studio. I always considered this as a “filler” kind of tune. If I ever decided to record this one more time, I would probably incorporate the best of both versions and take it a bit more seriously. This version, I played the guitar and did the lead vocal while Sean Crain did the bass and backing vocals live. Then, I overdubbed a subpar drum part and left it on the shelf. In 2014, I can back to it and added backing vocals where I left off. This would have been done had I had enough funds to go back and “fix” it. Since the drum track was locked into the guitar, bass, and Sean's one backing vocal, I couldn't redo the drum part, so that remains.

This is recording #570.

Recorded at Audio Recording, Inc. in Seattle, WA. & MINE music Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

WELL I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU WHEN YOU CAME TO ME.
YOUR LOVE FOR ME IS REAL NOW, CAN’T YOU SEE?
I HATE IT WHEN YOU GO TO TALK WITH THAT MAN.
IT’S YOUR MONEY THAT HE WANTS AND YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND.
AND THAT’S THE BAD PART.

NOW YOU’RE PUTTIN’ ME DOWN WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHIN’ TO LOSE.
IT’S NOT HIM THAT YOU WANT; IT’S ME YOU GOTTA CHOOSE.
THEN HE BUYS YOU DIAMOND RINGS TO TAKE YOU AWAY.
I WANT YOU FOR MY OWN BUT YOU JUST DON’T WANT TO STAY.
AND THAT’S THE BAD PART.

THAT’S THE BAD PART. THAT’S THE BAD PART.
(SOLO)
NOW YOU’RE WITH THAT MAN AND HE’S NOT LOVING YOU TRUE.
IF YOU COME WITH ME, I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO.
I CAN’T COPE WITH THE FACT THAT YOU ARE REALLY GONE.
MY LIFE IS OVER AND I CAN’T GO ON.
AND I CAN’T GO ON.

THAT’S THE BAD PART. THAT’S THE BAD PART.
THAT’S THE BAD PART. THAT’S THE BAD PART.

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
