‘You Don’t Have To Leave’ — #lyrics to a #Pop #rock #ballad

‘you don’t have to leave’

Please give credit if you produce or perform

I want to believe
that you don’t have to leave
here we are face to face
fighting through this disgrace
in the end no matter what
you don’t have to flee
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

I want you in my face
a kiss would be great
but just a sneer would suffice
if that’s in the dice
you’re all I hope
and can expect
just in the end
don’t grin on your way out the door

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

(bridge)
the booze is too much
stay another night
’cause no matter what
we’re in it to win it
that I believe
no matter what
the outside may believe

you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave
you don’t have to leave

‘Something Of My Own’ — #lyrics to a #Pop #Rock song

‘something of my own’
written by @sheltgarner
Please given credit if you produce or perform

no need to run
no need to hide
I’m here all alone
hoping to have
something of my own
something of my own
something of my own

they all say
much to my dismay
how much we should ally pray
if we want to have another day
but all I want I must confess
is something to call my own

something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan

let’s have another drink
before there’s a stink
girls without tops
pull out all the stops
when you’re building something true
’cause
all I want is something of my own
I moan

something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan

(bridge)
I’m no slave to you
I’ll do what I do
owning your heart
is just a start
I confess what’s making blue
you are just confused

something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan
something of my own
I moan

‘I Don’t Read’ – #lyrics to a #pop #rock song

I Don’t Read
please credit @sheltgarner

I don’t read
but I can read your legs
the ones a mile high
that make me bite my knuckle
not knowing where they end

I don’t read
but I know what matters most
I don’t read
but quench my thirst
I don’t read
but so what you’re the best
for this man whose the worst

your inner though
is divine
there’s no excuse
for me not to stare
when you walk into a room
your little black dress
makes me want
to carress your ass
with a bit of sass

I don’t read
but I know what matters most
I don’t read
but quench my thirst
I don’t read
but so what you’re the best
for this man whose the worst

(bridge)
the snow is pure
when you’re ready lure
people to their doom
don’t you worry one bit
I won’t let you fret

I don’t read
but I know what matters most
I don’t read
but quench my thirst
I don’t read
but so what you’re the best
for this man whose the worst

‘Every Lie Is True’ — #Lyrics To A #Pop #Rock #Ballad

“Every Lie Is True”
Please credit @sheltgarner

every lie is true
when you’re in love

there’s nothing you can do
to change the course of fate
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

can’t say it enough
I know you like it rough
but loving you ain’t easy
when every lie is the truth

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

let’s skip to the part
where we make love in the dark
having you by my side
just makes me sigh
and remember that

(bridge)
the facts are the facts
and that’s no sass
I look you in the eye
knowing it’s all a lie
it’ll all come to an end
but I’m willing to sin
when every lie is true
when I’m in love with you

every lie is true
every lie is true
every lie is true
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you
when I’m in love with you

‘Wrong Tree’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock Novelty Song

Wrong Tree
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

walking down the street
see a lovely lady
next thing I know
she’s holding hands
with a gal
it was then I realized
that I was
barking up the
barking up the
barking up the wrong tree

what you do with your body
is cool with me
but what’s a boy to do
when he leers as a chyck
only to find out she’s
wading in the lady pond
the world these days
is so confusing
when you’re
barking up the
barking up the
barking up the
barking up the wrong tree

(bridge)
things once were simple
boys were boys
and girls were girls
now we fend for ourselves
not knowing west from west
the twain no longer meet
so you’re left to beat your meat

the world these days
is so confusing
when you’re
barking up the
barking up the
barking up the
barking up the wrong tree

‘What Is A Woman’ #Lyrics To An R&B Song

What Is A Woman
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

when push comes to shove
we all have a woman we love
who protects us from our fate
of wondering when to end the debate
she is there for us with care
when we scream too loud on a dare

what is a woman
you may ask
what is a woman
what is a woman
what is a woman
you may ask

she’s love personified
no matter what might occur
we have to believe she will
always be there for in thick and thin
ever when we wander into a life of sin
but for a woman in our life
would there be any delight

what is a woman
you may ask
what is a woman
what is a woman
what is a woman
you may ask

(bridge)
men come and go
wanting us to believe
they have it all together
but if they don’t have a woman
in their life
they’re all alone without delight

what is a woman
you may ask
what is a woman
what is a woman
what is a woman
you may ask

‘I Drink Whiskey’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Here you go. I’m drunk enough that I find myself writing lyrics as a form of mental masturbation.

I Drink Whiskey
lyrics by @sheltgarner
Please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t know what to tell you
when the mood strikes me
it can be sublime
I don’t drink wine
nor whine if I drink beer
but in a pinch no matter what
I always drink whiskey

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

my mind is racing
thinking of you naked
maybe if you drink with me
we’ll have a tumble between the sheets
something we’ll both regret
who knows though
a baby may come of it

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

(bridge)
I try to stay sober
I really do no matter what
but when you leer at me
and say you’re feeling saucy
I know what will cause some audacity

whiskey has a kick
that I feel in my gut
I drink whiskey it’s true
what else am I going to do
but drink whiskey, drink whiskey
drink whiskey

A Hot Take On Halsey

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

I really, really like Halsey. But the thing about her is, she seems to be among a number of established artists who seem to be thrashing around creatively for a New Sound.

The logical thing for her to do is to veer into traditional pop rock. It’s right there. If she came out out with a pop rock album that wasn’t just warmed over NIN in its vibe, then I think she would find a lot of success.

It definitely seems as though the audience wants something akin to neo-New Wave. That’s what Zoomers want. They have no idea what New Wave and punk are and if you came out with music that was updated New Wave I think it would be a huge hit.

But, lulz. No one one listens to me. But I’m an Old, so I have some perspective on things. And I think if you someone like Halsey really studied The Talking Heads or Blondie and got a really good producer (Butch Vig?) to rock her up some, I think that’s a sure fire hit.

‘Terribly Negative Person’ — #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

Terribly Negative Person
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t call me bitter
I’m not your babysitter
people come and go in your life
isn’t it a sight
you have the gall to say
to my dismaay
that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

I’m not what you think
I swear, I swear
I’m not a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

I might bet a bit better
but you would be too
if you had your heart broken
by someone like you
but you’re cruel in the extreme
to scream that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

(bridge)
I remember when I had hope
and love did not seem on the ropes
but you came into my life
now I don’t know what is a lie
and what is true

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

don’t you dare give me
a blank stare of a dare

I’m not what you think
I swear, I swear
I’m not a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

I might bet a bit better
but you would be too
if you had your heart broken
by someone like you
but you’re cruel in the extreme
to scream that I’m a
terribly negative person
terribly negative person
terribly negative person

‘Unwanted Hugs’ #lyrics to a #pop #rock #ballad

I’m really proud of this one.

Unwanted Hugs
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform

the break up was a year ago
we’re no longer a thing
in the end it was all a game
but what can I say I still
look forward to seeing you and the
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

if it wasn’t for unwanted hugs
what would we have
if it was’t for unwanted hugs
our relationship would be dead

here come close
close enough to smell
I need one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

people claim we made a cute couple
maybe we did I don’t know
but all I know is how you feel
when I go in for one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

if it wasn’t for unwanted hugs
what would we have
if it was’t for unwanted hugs
our relationship would be dead

here come close
close enough to smell
I need one of those
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs

(bridge)
when the hugs were wanted
and things were going well
things were just so swell
but that was a long, long time ago
now all I’ve got are

unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
unwanted hugs
