‘Void’ — #Lyrics To A R&B-Pop Song

Now, I have no beat, but I have a concept. This would be a FKA Twigs kind of song. A dark, pop-R&B vibe that was slow and soulful. But, whatever. I just like to tell stories in verse and I find there to be a creative purity to it sense the entire song-writing business is designed to prevent some rando like me from breaking into it.

Void

you’re on the edge of a cliff
my love is waiting for you
will you set yourself free
jump into my arms
fill my void

my hips know their place
I’ve got the grace

fall into my void
fall into my void
you’ll hear me roar
when our bodies slap
in the big black void

it won’t hurt one bit
just let me lick my lips
refresh your memory
of what to expect in the void
I’ll break your heart
but you’ll ask for more

I’m waiting for you
the void is calling
it’s warm and wet
like nothing you can expect
when will come my way to stay

my hips know their place
I’ve got the grace

fall into my void
fall into my void
you’ll hear me roar
when our bodies slap
in the big black void

[bridge]
know you’re worried
but have no fear
we’ll be in the clear
I’ll steer your right
in my garden of delight

my void is aching for you
never faking what I got
I’ll take all you with an arch
you’ll never look back
once you fall into my void

ready as I’ll ever be
the sea has nothing on me
when you dive into my void
you’ll be safe for eternity

‘How’s It Going To End’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-R&B Song

I love the idea of a song starting relationships for no other reason than it prompts a guy to take a chance of a woman he notices. That’s the kind of power only an artist has and I want it. Anyway, his would be to a Jhene Aiko type fusion beat. Maybe a little bit faster than her usual stuff, but I just write the lyrics. It’s up to someone else to determine the music to go along with it.

How’s It Going To End

eye you across the way
lower my sunglasses and cock an eye
wonder what you surmise
do you think of delight
between my thighs at night
are you serious or just joshing
with that grin
how’s it going to end

we’re just two ships
sailing towards our fate

how’s it going to end
are we about to sin
begin again
or just walk away with a grin
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end

I’m no dope
I know you’ve got hope
of my slight touch
feeling the warmth of my breath
on your face in the dark
is this just a lark
or are you going to work for me

other girls might admire you
but I’d own you given the chance
I doubt you have it in you
to put in the effort for my attention
I guess we’ll see
how it’s going to end

we’re just two ships
sailing towards our fate

how’s it going to end
are we about to sin
begin again
or just walk away with a grin
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end

[bridge]
when we finally meet
and you sweep me off my feet
will you remember the moment we locked eyes
realized our fate was in the stars

how’s it going end

I’m waiting for you to come over
waiting for you to make your move
what happens next is up to you

how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end
how’s it going to end

‘Cat Lady’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Soul Song

I sometimes get in the mood where I want to write song lyrics for no other reason than it’s relaxing. I just like telling stories in verse. And I have a little time on my hands, so here you go. No one cares about any of these lyrics so it’s pretty much just for my own enjoyment. I see this as having a Marvin Gaye vibe to it.

Cat Lady
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you tell me no man is good enough
that you’d rather die alone
than feel the warm embrace of another lying man
but I know in your heart
while you clink to your pussy cat
late, late, late at night
that you pine for the loving
the type of loving only a man can bring

you’re a cat lady that’s for sure
but give me a chance and I’ll be your tom cat
you’ll find your lace on the floor
willing to go once more

cat lady come here dear
cat lady let me hold you tight
cat lady, cat lady, cat lady

our love will rock our worlds
things will do tonight will be lengdary
who knows, honey, might make a baby
you’ve got to give me a chance though
let me prove to you that I’m worthy of your love
won’t take much for this to go down
I’ll turn your world upside down

you’re a cat lady that’s for sure
but give me a chance and I’ll be your tom cat
you’ll find your lace on the floor
willing to go once more

cat lady come here dear
cat lady let me hold you tight
cat lady, cat lady, cat lady

[bridge]
I know men are dogs
too many have broken your heart
you’ve closed it tight, tight, tight
but I promise, I swear our love is real

but in the end kindness is your friend
you’ve got to see what I see
got to see that your pain and suffering
will fade away like a warm rain
if you let me into your heart
late at night

be my cat lady
be my cat lady
be my cat lady
