Lyrics

To my great surprise Someone I thought I recognised Someone I used to know before There was something in her eyes

I followed softly from a distance I was not sure I could be sure The way she walked was so enchanting Brought memories of romancing

And then she turned and looked straight at me And to my very great surprise She was not the girl I dreamed of It seems my eyes had told me lies And I was taken from behind The steel bracelets used to confine me

And the moral of this story is Be careful what you do at night Don't follow single ladies Even if you think you're in the right It's sure to cause distress And could land you in a mess

Wow! I got a little concerned I'd made a mistake posting the skirmish so late because maybe not many will participate, but even if no one else joins you made it worth it! Gorgeous guitar, vocals, melody, overall vibe and sounds. As a lyrics-oriented listner, songs like this one stand out to me, where I really enjoy it the first time through while letting the words be sounds in the song instead of trackng what's being said. Going back to read the lyrics, I love the twist in the story and the message: do not follow single ladies at night! Blown away you did this in 30 min. Thanks so much for playing!
