1.

You came at me like on a southern rain, a tornado and a freight train

You looked like you had nothing to loose, worn out make up and

Worn out shoes.. You hit the jukebox started dancing to some

rythum ` n blues …...... Now that cant lose......

Chorus

Yo u—oH Oh-Oh you got nothing else to loose

And I -Aye Aye --- I could see it in your eyes

Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep

Ive some scares I´m hiding from, maybe you pull me through the rain

2.

You came to me on a summer breeze, just like an infectious disease

Sweet and sour and firery hot, she`s got a a few miles on the clock

We got the the motion , the pills and potions and its time to rock

not gonna stop !...

Chorus (G) (Em7) (F) (D)

And we`eh weh-weh you got nothing else to loose

Take it ea— easy Its the path that we can choose

Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep

We got some scares We`r hiding from, Guide me through this storm

and through the rain

….Bridge.....

It feels like our time is running out, so many empty hour`s in a day

Watching T.V. Shows how to find Mr right, or maybe even fall in love

Or buying love potions from medicen man, Who doesn`t give a dam

Its better than being alone all alone.....

on a make believe or a dating show,

...Solo....

Chorus

And we`eh weh-weh you got nothing else to lose

Take it ea— easy Its the path that we must choose

Take a seat right next to me, Please dont look at me too deep

Ive some scares I´m hiding from,Guide me through this storm and rain

…...(C)-(G)......

Sounding really good, really like the tune ! Your voice is always top notch in my opinion, and the lyrics here work very well to define the overall song idea. As I listened a few times, I thought perhaps the arrangement could use some eighth notes to help drive it along a bit in places, as you've used so many syncopated rhythms through all the sections. Maybe eighth notes in the verse bass part, or even just hihat, might really top this piece off some. Just my humble suggestion, but for sure I enjoyed this ! . . . old school love, I remember it well . . .

This is another solid song from you that gets my feet tapping.  Good lyrics and vocals drive this tune and give it that nostalgic flavor that you are so good at.  As far as the mix goes, you're in the ballpark, and I have no doubt that you'll just get better.

Interesting lyrics which I can relate to. Mix needs a few tweaks but you said it was a warts and all presentation.

I agree with @freddyj, it's got a great '60s feel to it that could easily fit into a pop or even Motown format with ease. The mix sounds good even in my crappy bluetooth hearing aid buds, and that takes some doing. I very much like the chords, lyrics  and the arrangement. They keep my interest, and the performances are first rate. Nice tele sound in the solo. Well done!

Paul, Your voice really fits the genre nicely. Great tune and  arrangement too. And you have a knack with lyric phrases that stand out- "worn out make up and worn out shoes"  "a few miles on the clock"  Love it.
Great work on this.
