Well here I go again on my quest to get a set of lyrics set to music...

For those who aren't aware, I'm looking to tick off one of my bucket list goals which is to have a song I have written set to music and recorded. So far my previous efforts haven't managed to garner any interest, so let's see if this one piques anyones interest.

Many thanks in advance

VERSE
A tongue so sharp
You cut a smile
While all the while
There's hatred in your eyes
I'm seduced by the truth
You hide behind your lies.

Eyes cold as steel
Lips hot as hell
The tales they tell
Deceive with ease your prey
Convince with promises
You know you will betray

CHORUS
Played every card
Tried every trick
Poured out my heart
But you're just too slick
Release your grip
And let me be
I hate to love you
And you love to hate me

VERSE
The face of an angel
With looks that kill
You enjoy the thrill
Of poisoning my mind with fear
Do you feel my pain
Did you ever shed a tear

From blood red claws
My wounds run deep
I need to sleep
And rest my broken soul
What would it take to
Return the love you stole

CHORUS
Played every card
Tried every trick
Poured out my heart
But you're just too slick
Release your grip
And let me be
I hate to love you
And you love to hate me

MIDDLE 8
When you wrap your hand
Around my heart
It skips a beat
Before it's torn apart
Now you disregard
All I've done and said
This loves masquerade
Is well and truly dead

CHORUS
Played every card
Tried every trick
Poured out my heart
But you're just too slick
Release your grip
And let me be
I hate to love you
And you love to hate me

Good luck with the Dutch dancemeister, great set of lyrics - super chorus in particular.
Where are the others?

My musical tastes are very eclectic Dutch, so knock yourself out and give it a go, I would be most honoured.

I think you found one of my other posts Neil and here's a link to the other set of lyrics that I posted.
