Honky Tonk Lady
Nellie needed a showpiece of the old fashioned sort. Honky tonk piano, frontier stage, and the kind of ballad that works in a crowded room. For this I imagined Nellie not as a real honky tonk singer, but as a feature in one of those 1940's movies that take place in the old west, as sung by someone like Linda Darnell.

A Kind of Love
I guess I'll never have an extraordinary love
The kind to make me sigh and say 'I do.'
But even if I never find just what I'm looking for
I've got a little something that will do...
I've got a kind of love for you, it's not the usual kind.
It's not the thing I want to do, I must be losing my mind.
There's nothing in your eyes that I can recognize
To be appealing to me.
When I'm alone with you, I can't help wondering who I'd rather be
Alone with
In the light of day, I can say
I'm just wasting time.
I should go out and find the best man I can find.
But no matter how I think it through, I always change my mind.
I got a kind of love for you, it's not the usual kind.
I got a kind of love today, it's not the usual love.
It's not exactly what I prayed for to the heavens above.
The things I'm longing for you'd rather just ignore
They're just a nuisance to you.
But when I get you close, you know exactly what your supposed to do
To me
You could be miles away, and never say
Whatever's on your mind.
But when you touch me I can leave it all behind.
And you know nobody else can do
Whatever it is you do.
So, I got a kind of love for you, it's not the usual kind.
Babe, you don't know how to wear your clothes
Or wipe your nose,
You can't even tie a tie.
But when I think of life without you I could die.
I'll never know just what I see in you
But they say that love is blind
I got a kind of love for you, it's not the usual kind. |
