She Can't Love You
by @bethkille
Liner Notes
Just overheard a guitar lick in a t.v. commercial when my husband was watching a basketball game yesterday. I figured out a variation of it with a synth sound and started babble-singing over the top of a chord progression....and well, this is what fell out...a warning about the hazards of taking a crush too far.
Lyrics
CHORUS
Don’t do it.
You’ll just ruin it
You know that she can’t love you x2
VERSE 1
Snuck up on you
and turned you on
You didn’t expect to
Feel this longing
Just a little flirtatious
The attraction grows
Your inhibitions gone
As the red wine flows
You know that you can look
But you sh-sh-shouldn’t touch
So hard to believe
You could feel so much
PRECHORUS 1
You can have her as a friend
for the rest of your life
Or maybe you could burn it up
For just one night
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Now everywhere you turn
You see her face
if you could only get her outta this
crowded place
Would you say the words
Would you finally admit
Oh no, D--D-Don’t you do it,
You’ll only regret it
You’re a little bit crazy
Can’t clear your head
'Cause all you wanna do
is take her back to your bed
PRECHORUS 2
You can have as a friend
for the rest of your life
Or you burn it up
Right here tonight
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Snap out of it
Use your head
Take a deep breath
Come to your senses
The sirens are blaring
The red lights flash
Why do you ache
For a deadly crash
DOUBLE CHORUS w/Verse 1 overlap

Makes my 80s kid heart happy. It's giving me "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John vibes.

I think captures a very relatable idea
Love the production, too.
Killer last couple lines! Super Duper!
