Description:
It's been too long since I wrote a jazz song, so I decided to return to my favorite genre. I tried to capture the kind of song they would have played in jazz clubs back in the day. Imagine a smoky room at 3 a.m. in some dive with a quartet and a 'girl singer'. I had so much fun with this one. For the lyrics (to keep with that period feel) I played around with cliches, and had a blast doing it.Lyrics:
Smooth as silk, slick as oilSly as a fox, you're never true or loyal You're a rake, a bounder, a rascal, a cad Why, oh, why do I like my boys bad? You set your sights in that smoky room Helpless as a kitten, I sauntered your way You smiled, you laughed, enjoying my doom I couldn't resist that black hair touched with grey :;Refrain:: You put on airs; lived like a king I thought you were the man that you pretended to be The bills came in and I paid everything A wink, a kiss, and a slap on the tush was your currency :;Refrain:: You stole my heart, and all my rings You took my natural pearls but skipped the cultivated I should have known I'd lose all my things You wouldn't even breathe without being compensated ::Refrain:: ::Some noodling around:: ::Refrain:: I don't know... Loverboy... Come to Mama. ©Copyright November 2004 by Joanna Sandsmark Hardware:

medium, jazz that is. You were born to sing this kind of
song. And your lyrics are fantastic. Thanks for another
great song. I personally hate bad boys, but whatever. With
such a voice you can sing anything and I'll listen.
