Liner Notes

Admit it--you saw the picture and went, "Awwww...now I've GOT to listen to this one." It's called Shameless Marketing, fellow songwriters--get used to it if you want to be the rock stars you've been wanting to be all of your lives...

I hope you enjoy this one!

Silhouette in the moonlight,
you're a vision in blue,
Dancing alone,
like you always do.
I sidle up, show you
a mischievous grin,
"Take my hand," I whisper,
"Let the dare begin."

CHORUS:
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
to step into the light,
Leave behind the shadows
of your lonely nights.
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
leap into the unknown,
Where love is a mystery
and it waits to be shown.

Through the music and memories
of this half full cafe,
Our hearts beat in rhythm,
as the universe sways.
A challenge in your eyes,
as bright as a flare,
"Do you dare to love me?
Do you dare to care?"

So here is my heart,
and here is my hand,
I dare you to not hide
your head in the sand.
I see you, truly,
as I hope you see me,
In the dare, we are boundless,
in the dare, we are free.

CHORUS:
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
to step into the light,
Leave behind the shadows
of your lonely nights.
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
leap into the unknown,
Where love is a mystery
and it waits to be shown.

I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU
to say you'll be mine,
Go into the future,
have our souls entwine.
In our life's ballet,
where passions ignite,
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
to love me tonight.

CHORUS:
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
to step into the light,
Leave behind the shadows
of your lonely nights.
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU,
leap into the unknown,
Where love is a mystery
and it waits to be shown.
