Painted In You (Demo) By Carroll Bryant

For Mother's Day 2014, I finally decided to give my mother a gift she has been wanting for a while now - me singing one of my songs. While I do plan on posting Mark Reinhart's version soon, I decided to go ahead and post my demo version. I never claimed to be a singer, but at least mother likes it so that's good to know, right? Anyhow, here it is, me singing "Painted In You". (For better or worse.)

You're The Only One

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE - Written by Carroll Bryant

As I sit and look upon a falling star

I try to figure out just who you are, babe

Maybe some day I will know but

Let's say for now girl, it doesn't really matter yet

And I know you really want a rich man

Someone you can call a daddy-o 

All I got to offer is love and affection 

You really got to know this, baby

That you're the only one

The only one I need

You're the only one

The only one I want

You're the only one

The only one I care for

You're the only one

The only one I love

Look at me, and tell me that you love me

Say it like you mean it for always 

Hold me tight, and love me like you breathe me

Tell me that we will be forever, lady

And I know you really want a rich man

Someone you can call a daddy-o 

All I got to offer is love and affection 

You really ought to know this, baby

That you're the only one

The only one I need

You're the only one

The only one I want

You're the only one

The only one I care for

You're the only one

The only one I love

I know you really don't want to hear this

But I love you so

Give me all of your sweetest kisses, girl

Because I'm the one who really needs them most

And I know you really want a rich man

Someone you can call a daddy-o 

All I got to offer is love and affection 

You really got to know this, baby

That you're the only one

The only one I need

You're the only one

The only one I want

You're the only one

The only one I care for

You're the only one

The only one I love

Bobbie Says No

BOBBIE SAYS NO - Written by Carroll Bryant

How about a date with me, baby?

She just smiles and says not a single word

Am I your kind of homeboy?

She just turns away

Girl, have you heard?

That I have a thing for you

So let me tell you what I'd like to do

I don't lie

It be the truth

Bobbie says no, I'm not that kind of girl

I want something special, and I don't think you understand

Bobbie don't you know that you're my kind of girl?

You thrill me something special

And I'm not the kind of man you think I am

You thrill me something special, Bobbie

How about a kiss sweet lady?

She just acts like I'm not there at all

Which way you like it, baby?

She just walks away

Girl, break my heart

Yes, I have a thing for you

So let me tell you what I'd like to do

Why must you always play it cool?

Bobbie, why you playing?

Bobbie says no, I'm not that kind of girl

I want something special, and I don't think you understand

Bobbie don't you know that you're my kind of girl?

You thrill me something special

And I'm not the kind of man you think I am

You thrill me something special, Bobbie

But Bobbie says no

What am I doing wrong?

Been watching you for so long

What do I have to do to prove I really, truly love you?

You're playing it so cool, Bobbie

Play me for the fool

Walk away, don't even talk

Bobbie, you break my heart

Yes, I have a thing for you

So let me tell you what I'd like to do

Why must you always play it cool?

Bobbie, why you playing?

Bobbie says no, I'm not that kind of girl

I want something special, and I don't think you understand

Bobbie don't you know that you're my kind of girl?

You thrill me something special

And I'm not the kind of man you think I am

You thrill me something special, Bobbie

But Bobbie says no
