Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Merilee's lyric:

"Really like this and how it gives me that bit of humor...still not right in how it sings.

below I've put in parenthesis the extra syllables and in the second line you need one more. there's a way to do this!! But I want you to figure it out.

Make it conversational...just like you'd say it. Lots to think about!

well I could show (you) a map
Draw you (-) a picture
Read the facts
Line by line
(but in) stead of that
How about (we have) a real good time

"

Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Merilee's lyric:

"Ok that's weird. sometimes I write a whole thing and when I hit submit it disappears! here I go again:

Here's a way you can rework this verse with humor and also have it fit!

I could unfold this map
Draw a little picture
State my facts
Thousands of times (taking my stand)
But I'll look back
(Knowing when the truth unwinds)
I'm never gonna change your mind

this is NOT finished but shows you all the whacky things I try...

the stuff in parenthesis are other options or lines on the way to the final lines maybe...
keep playing with it!"

Lyric by Merilee:

"Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time."

Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Merilee's lyric:

"like the 'tryin' rhyme...but for the third line so you can have ABAB. and 10 or 11 syllables sings best for the second line"

Lyric by Merilee:

"I was never gonna change your mind, so I gave up, stopped tryin'"

I'm searching for a ray of hope, (And) Watching for the slightest chance, to really let our love light glow, let's forget our disagreements and dance!

You and I are so alike, It took awhile to figure that out. When we share a laugh and smile, we forget what we were fusin' about.

Verse 3 re-Work using same phrases: I could state my case, try to win you over, scream and pace, tangled in pride, what a waste, to argue till the end of time.

You and I are so alike, Surprised we couldn't figure that one out. When you flash that killer smile, I forget what we were talking about.
