I wrote this song about a guy who writes to an agony aunt about a difficult problem. I put it to music and uploaded it to sound cloud but then thought I might have heard the tune before somewhere so I deleted it. It's very difficult these days to come up with an original melody with thousands of new songs coming out. As someone said, you spend hours and hours composing a melody only to find that you have just rewritten Hey Jude!
I think these lyrics would fit with a variety of styles, even reggae. The first set of lyrics I wrote was a reggae version. Anyway here are the lyrics, please let me know what you think. If anybody wants to try and put them to music please feel free.
Dear Susan
Dear Susan I need your advice
I think I'm falling for my best friends wife
My mind's in turmoil don't know what to do
I'm in despair that's why I'm writing to you
I'm sure she doesn't know how I feel
It's something I can never reveal
Oh no
How on earth to get her out of my head
Stop thinking about her here in my bed
No no no
Dear Susan what you going to say
Tell me I should move away
maybe take a holiday
Can't tell her that I'm falling in love
She's the only one I'm thinking of
Can't tell her every night I'm praying
To the Lord above
That she's going to fall for me
gonna be our destiny
But I know in my heart of hearts that it can never be
Dear Susan please give me a clue
Tell me what you think I should do
Without betraying the friend that I love
I can't tell him who I'm thinking of
I don't think that he would ever suspect
A friend who's always earned his repect
Oh no
Just stop me going out of my mind
Don't care if you're words are unkind
No no
Can't tell her that I'm falling in love
She's the only one I'm thinking of
I can't say that every night I'm praying
To the Lord above
She's going to fall for me
gonna be our destiny
But I know in my heart of hearts that it can never be
