You can save on postage by ordering more than one item at a time, as the base postage rate is determined by the item with the highest shipping cost.

about

Another co-write with Gerry from The Plum Tree And The Rose (2012). I love the old-school “verse-refrain” form employed by Rodgers & Hart and other Golden Age songwriters like Cole Porter and the Gershwins (The Beatles used it as well), so we had a bash at using it for this one.

lyrics

I didn’t know that kiss was coming
Guess I could have started running
Soon as I saw what you were thinking
Serves me right
I shouldn’t have been drinking
But anyway, you did
So let’s consider

What are we going to do about it
This little thing that you and me have started
Tonight is not enough
I might just fall in love with you
What are we going to do

I wouldn’t say that this was unexpected
If you hadn’t kissed me I’d regret it
Cos when you leaned my way
I couldn’t turn my face from you
What are we going to do

This could be the edge of something
Dangerous, too
But right now it’s all new

I don’t know what way to play it
In the light of day we might not make it
I don’t know if it’s real
I don’t know how to deal with you
What are we going to do

What are we going to do about it
This little thing that you and me have started
Tonight is not enough
I might just fall in love with you
What are we going to do
