  HEY GUYS

  this is a lyric about someone that's been finished with at the end of a night out
  and he lets out his feelings as he sets out on the long walk home


                             THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEED BACK AND COMMENTS


         



     YOU  CAN'T TREAT ME LIKE THIS
         ------ = = = = = = = ------


 last kiss and you turn away
 you didn't say goodbye
 left me standing in the pouring rain
 least you could have told me why

 you know you hurt me
 it's really hit me hard
 it's like I'm lying on a cold stone
 dying of a broken heart

 was it something I said
 was it something I did
 just a misunderstanding
 and you can't handle it
 was it something you heard
 someone you think I've been with
 for just a misunderstanding
 you can't treat me like this

 I felt every raindrop
 and I tried not to cry
 what cut me the deepest is
 knowing that you didn't try

 I know it wasn't love
 cause it was early days
 we could have worked it out
 if you'd of only stayed

 I've hit the longest road
 it's dark and I'm alone
 all I want to do is
 get home and be on my own

 was it something I said
 was it something I did
 just a misunderstanding
 and you can't handle it
 was it something you heard
 someone you think I've been with
 for just a misunderstanding
 you can't treat me like this

Nice one Tony.
Esp liked the theme "You can't treat me like this!" so there - HA!
The one line tripped me up the slightest was:

"someone you think I've been with" seems to have too many syllables

maybe:

was it something you heard
about who I've been with

The rest flows like a river and I felt for the guy - poor sod.

Ohhhh! I enjoyed reading these lyrics. I think I'll start a club of people wanting to hear this with music. It is veeeery well written! Loved the placement of ''you can't treat me like this'' line! There are so many of those ''left with a broken heart'' songs, which I think is great (!), but sometimes it can get a bit repetitive, which is not the case here. You created some amazing lines and I would not change anything. I think this is really really good, you made it interesting to read and that's what I loved.

Hi Tony,

great lyrics, just a couple of tweaks from me.

I think "and I can't handle it" and "please don't treat me like this" work better. If somebody was singing "you can't handle it" to me, my response would be, really... we'll see about that. Same response to "you can't treat me like this". It would mean the title would need to be changed, perhaps: Please, don't treat me like this.

We're a feisty lot in Hull so feel free to ignore my suggestions if you don't think they'll work.

Keith

  HEY GUYS

 thank you so much for the great comments and feed back on this lyric

 KEVIN J,                  means a lot from you thank you

 DIADEMGROVE,        i think you've missed something here Keith
                                the guy in the song is speaking to the girl
                                if i put and i can't handle it, that could not work
                                also if i put, please don't treat me like this
                                it wouldn't show his anger or bring that over

                                he's angry because of the way she ended it

                                hope that helps Keith,

                                    THANKS GUYS
