Description
This song has been laying around for a looonnnggggg time and I just don't know what to do with it. I have at least 5 completely different versions of it. As different as night and day versions.
I'm considering posting each one of them only because I've never had such a situation occur where I can't decide on a style for a song.
This version is what I call the metal version. I originally recorded the song on my 4 track and a buddy of mine named Rob Dungan came over one day and freaked out all over the song with his ferocious leads. He played 2 tracks of guitar and I recorded it so poorly that you can't even begin to appreciate his genius as a guitarist. The lead is the only original part used from the original recording. Everything else was created tonight. Rob and I formed a very short lived, but exciting project called Dumpster Baby and we wrote a bunch of whacked out Judas Priest vs Devo songs.
The drums are from the dying breath of my Dr Rhythm drum machine and the synths are from GB3. My vocal ideas in this version are so ridiculous. I don't know what I was thinking, but for some reason, this is the version I want to post first.
I know the production is really bad, but I've hacked this song to pieces all night and I really want to leave it to die on the side of the road.
Has this ever happened to you? I am absolutely cold cocked.

Lyrics
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU LOOK SO GOOD
AND YOU SMELL SO GOOD
AND YOU TASTE SO GOOD IS...
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU TALK SO LOUD
AND YOU SIGH SO LOUD
AND YOU SCREAM SO LOUD IS...
(OPTIONAL CHORUS)
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU EAT SO FAST
AND YOU DRINK SO FAST
AND YOU LEAVE SO FAST IS...
THE ONLY REASON
THAT I MAKE MY BED
AND I POUND MY HEAD
FOR THOSE THINGS I SAID IS...
(OPTIONAL CHORUS)
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
I'LL TRY ANYTHING
JUST TO GET YOUR ATTENTION
WANNA BE YOUR CLOWN
DID I HAPPEN TO MENTION?
YOU MADE A FOOL OUTTA ME
MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE
WHY DON'T I LISTEN
TO MY OWN ADVICE?
(CHORUS)
IT'S SO OBVIOUS
YOU DON'T WANT ME
OH - SO OBVIOUS
YOU DON'T WANT ME
THE ONLY REASON
THAT I TRY SO HARD
AND I CRY SO HARD
AND I FALL SO HARD IS...
THE ONLY REASON
THAT I ACT SO CRAZY
AND I FEEL SO CRAZY
THAT I AM SO CRAZY IS...
(CHORUS)
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
THAT YOU LOOK SO GOOD
AND YOU SMELL SO GOOD
AND YOU TASTE SO GOOD IS...
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU TALK SO LOUD
AND YOU SIGH SO LOUD
AND YOU SCREAM SO LOUD IS...
(OPTIONAL CHORUS)
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU EAT SO FAST
AND YOU DRINK SO FAST
AND YOU LEAVE SO FAST IS...
THE ONLY REASON
THAT I MAKE MY BED
AND I POUND MY HEAD
FOR THOSE THINGS I SAID IS...
(OPTIONAL CHORUS)
YOU DON'T WANT ME
YOU DON'T WANT ME

Happens quite often that you want to save something that you messed up on in the first place. I've got about 15 song that I laid down on Pro Tools with a drum machine. Good songs, but crap production.Only two things you can do, scrap them or record them again(that sucks)
Get Rob over and do it again because I think it's a good idea of a song.
I think SHE WANTS YOU
