Description
If only I could play all the instruments, actually, any o the instruments in this track! Anyways, I kinda get a gospel vibe from this that I enjoy, but the lyrics obviously don't keep with that theme per se. As always comments and thoughts welcome.

Would be thrilled to find some female collaborators for this to flesh out the vocal parts.

Thanks for the listen!

Lyrics
I was a Saturday morning child,
My daddy hung me up to dry...
So pick me up on the corner baby, you leave me satisfied,
There ain't no other gonna love you like I do,
Because I take my time

ooh ooh,
ooh ooh

(My baby called me Saturday morning,
He says 'I gotta leave, but I'll be back someday')
He was a Saturday morning child,
('Ill be back someday for you and the baby,'
'I think I'm gonna get a cigarette,')
And mama hung him out to dry...ooh ooh
('I think I'm gonna get a cigarette.')

ooh ooh

So pick me up on the corner baby, and leave me satisfied,
There ain't no other gonna love you like I do,
Because I take my time

ooh ooh,
ooh ooh

My daddy hung me up to dry,
But I been workin' day and night...

So pick me up on the corner baby, you leave me satisfied,
There ain't no woman gonna love you like I do
Because take my time.

ooh ooh,
ooh ooh
ooh ooh,
ooh ooh.

Cool song
I dig the subtle funk/folk, couple of parts w/ the vocals couldve used a reworking or harmony, but otherwise a fantstic song with creative lyrics

Hauntingly
atmospheric. I love the treatment you've given this with that heavy bass and simple beat that builds up. You write play and sing very naturally, so keep it up, regards M

Caught up in the vibe
What a super infectious groove this has... like good gospel music does too. Yah, this shows how good you are at singing and songwriting! I love the vibe of the whole thing; you are really feeling it, and it comes through in everything about the song.
