This is another original, although I took a liberty in the middle of the song to sing the first verse of one of my favorite R&B songs of all time: DeBarge's "I Like It."
I thought it sort of fit with the maniacal theme of the song, anyway.
Lyrically, I didn't spend a ton of time with this one because the first two lines of the chorus have been with me since I was like 22. They weren't going away.
So, I thought, how can I build something around that?
Anyway, video first with lyrics and notes below.
"Gettin' Over Me"
by Ryan Welton, 2008
Chorus:
What you gonna do about gettin' over me?
Oh, Christina
Hookin' up with me brings a lifetime guarantee
Oh, that when you be dreamin'
schemin', another heart that you be stealin'
Ain't no gettin' over me
Verse 1:
See, when you be walkin'
Look, there I am
Hell no, I ain't stalkin'
It's who I am
I'm on your mind like sunshine meets the rainbow
Like a baller needs a free throw
It's the reason that I wrote this jam
Chorus:
What you gonna do about gettin' over me?
Oh, Christina
Hookin' up with me brings a lifetime guarantee
Oh, that when you be dreamin'
schemin', another heart that you be stealin'
Ain't no gettin' over me
Bridge:
Well, I'm wavin' when you walk by
I'm begging you to reply, honey
It's not that I'm gon' taunt you
But my love is gonna haunt you
Verse 2 (via DeBarge)
I've been thinkin'
'bout you for quite a while
You're on my mind everyday and every night
My every thought is you, the things you do
Seems so satisfying to me,
I must confess it, girl
Side chorus (via DeBarge):
Ooh...and I like it
I like it
I like it
I like it
Repeat chorus.
Do the bridge without words one time because you're worn out.
Repeat chorus.
Get on with yo' bad self.
