‘Quiet Desperation’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

Since Selena Gomez seems interested in literature, this seems like something she would be interested in, but, really, any major female vocalists might at least find these lyrics interesting.

Quiet Desperation

walking down the street
looking at my phone
I feel alone
then you catch my eye
feel a sudden thrill and softly moan

most of us are quiet in our deperation
we just need someone to love

when I see you all I wanna do
is shout
is shout
is shout

there’s no doubt you’re fine
with eyes of sapphire
just when I didn’t think I could
get any lower
you pop into view
suddenly I’m as high as can be
no longer quiet is my heart
thinking of our delight

you cross the street
trying to escape me
how do we connect
will the fates intervene
to put you next to me
I guess we’ll just see

most of us are quiet in our deperation
we just need someone to love

when I see you all I wanna do
is shout
is shout
is shout

[bridge]
when we’re together at last
we’ll look back and laugh
how we bumped into each other
randomly

it starts to rain
the sky is sad
but I’m as glad as can be
’cause you flee the wet streets
to a coffee shop
I let out scream
what happens next
we’ll see

‘We’ll Never Know’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

This one is definitely a first draft. I need someone to bounce this concept off of who knows music and might be able to provide a beat. But it tells a story and it’s interesting.

We’ll Never Know
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

we’ll never know
’cause you won’t act
we’ll never know
’cause if you don’t act
it’ll be a fact

looking at each across the way
I smile you smile back
but you make a move
what’s with that
I hear your thoughts
in my head
but I don’t feel by my side

we’re all alone in this world
take a risk and change or fate
I wanna know
I wanna know

we’ll never know
’cause you won’t act
we’ll never know
’cause if you don’t act
it’ll be a fact

when you we’re alone
at some later date
we’re grooving to night
in the darkness of midnight
we’ll both think of how you said hi
made our dreams come true

but you’ve got a deadline
I’m leaving the club soon
if you don’t make your move
I’ll be gone never to return
we’ll never know

we’re all alone in this world
take a risk and change or fate
I wanna know
I wanna know

we’ll never know
’cause you won’t act
we’ll never know
’cause if you don’t act
it’ll be a fact

[bridge]
think of lady fate
she’s waiting for our touch
cross the line of desire
bring it all a bit higher

now I see you walking to me
our eyes are locked
what happens next
that’s the question
we’ll know soon enough
we’ll know soon enough
we’ll know soon enough

‘Waiting On You’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

This one is about me waiting for New York Magazine to do a follow up on #FOTUS and how my life is generally in flames. But in my imagination this is sung by a woman. Women need songs like this at a club because they generally don’t feel comfortable making the first move.

Waiting On You
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

I sit in my dark corner
watching the people walk by
girls and guys making love
with their eyes
you see me I know
so here I am
waiting on you

waiting on you is such a shame
why do you let this wither
no need to give me a come hither

waiting on you
is not a waste of time
waiting on you
while the music roars
waiting on you

you lick your lips giving me fits
but if you don’t make a move
there won’t be any heat
when our lips hit
why do I have to stand here
all night long along
waiting on you
what to do

you think you’ve got me figured out
don’t know what that’s all about
I have you round my finger
might make it linger
you need to make your move
what happens next is up to you
waiting on you

waiting on you is such a shame
why do you let this wither
no need to give me a come hither

waiting on you
is not a waste of time
waiting on you
while the music roars
waiting on you

[bridge]
when the waiting’s done
we’ll run into the night
knowing what’s about to light
we’ll burn our love
faster than the sun

my friends tell me I’m fool
plenty of other fish floating ’round
but you’re all a part of my plan
when the time comes to get down
there’ll be no more
waiting on you
waiting on you
waiting on you

‘Never Trend’ — #Lyrics To A Dance Pop Song

I have no beat, but in my imagination this would be a dance pop song where you clearly heard the lyrics.

Never Trend
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

so you want to be famous
you say yes
scream and shout that’s
what it’s all about
want to see your name in lights
people know your name
but that’s a shame ’cause

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

people spend all their lives
fighting for a chance at spotlight
starlight on their face is all they want
right now they cry
they live in anticipation
there wish will come true
but what can you do
’cause you’ll rue the day
you trend I’m afraid

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend

[bridge]
the Twitter box
is full of glitter
tweeting away with the deets
but you’ll regret it in thend
when you trend

but don’t listen to me
you’ll love it I bet when
everything comes crashing down
the moment you trend
and you’re on the run

never trend
in the end my friend
let me tell you
never trend
never trend
never trend
