In Love with Me

from Surf Mobster by Quico Reed

about

"In Love with Me" was my first experiment at song-writing from the perspective of a woman. I had an acquaintance who was a little neurotic and kept dating bad guys, dumping them, then wanting them back. I thought that was an interesting psychological profile to explore.
This version is the second attempt at producing the song. I completely changed the style from funky electronic to more of a heavy psycho-rockabilly and hired some fantastic musicians to give it a great sound.

lyrics

In Love with Me
©2019 BugTheRoot (Curtis Reed)
There was love in his eyes but there was
nothing in his soul
He could not empathize he had a heart made of
coal
But when it burned it gave off light so bright it
would blind my eyes
And when I regained my sight, I saw the ghostly
glare of lies

And I was sure the boy was in love with me
Yeah I wanted to believe he was in love with me
Now I clearly see he never was never was in
love with me

And we ran down boulevards with our backs turned to the rain
And we shut down all the bars and stumbled back home again
And when he laid me on the bed I was sure that he was mine
But I was just another catch another fish dangled on the line

But I was so damn sure this boy was in love with me
Yeah I wanted to believe he was in love with me
Now I want to believe he was in love, he was in love with me
In Love with Me

So when you’re lying in his arms, and you’re gazing in his eyes
I’m sure he thinks that he loves you, at least I’m sure he thinks he tries
But if he tires of his toys and his heart will turn to stone
Then he will look for some new toy to filet down to the bone

I’m sure you think the boy’s love with you
Yeah I’m sure you want to believe he is in love with you
Some day you’re gonna see the boy’s still in love with me
The boy’s in love with me

He’s still in love with me!
in love with me! in love with me! in love with me!
He’s still in love with me!
