This is a live demo I did in 2012 just playing live into GarageBand trying to hammer out an arrangement for this song, which was new at the time.

I believe I used a Røde "Podcaster" USB mic to make this recording.

lyrics

The First time that I seen ya
You were on the street, I was in my car
You looked good from afar
An object in my mirror*
Closer than you appeared
I hung a U-ie
And I pulled up to you
said "How do you do?
Baby do you need a ride?"
You got right in
I thought I smelled gin
and that's fine
O babe that's all right, all right

Your butt cheeks were bedazzled
With rhinestones on those jeans
It looked real nice
I had to look twice

And I was runnin' a little chunky
You were a fatty sausage
You said so yourself
We drank to your health
We drank from the top shelf
As a nod to our wealth

O loverdoll baby it's true
I can't be without you
I need you all in my life
Baby come down
Stop wearing a frown
uh-oh

(and this is true)

I was helpless, I was hopeless
You helped me to have hope in something again
Just by being my friend
O BABY yeah!
I love you so much
You're key yeah you're clutch
You're crucial to my happiness
Oh honey, my dear, whenever you're near
Oh me, I'm crushing again
and again
Oh yes,
I'm crushing again
and again
Oh yeah
I'm crushing again.



*I botched the lyric on this demo and said "ear" instead of "mirror"--oops.
