New to Song Ramp /Let Me Tell You What You Went And Done

I'm rather new to this. It all started when I got remarried. My wife is a DJ and she gave me the confidence to get up and sing. She introduced me to Ron Madore, a gifted and talented musician and songwriter, and a friend. After visiting his studio and seeing what he does it inspired me to see if I could write a song. Within a couple weeks I had about 7 songs. I can't play an instrument so most of my recordings are acapella recorded on my cell phone. This is the third song I wrote: Let Me Tell You What You Went and Done © 2018 Jeff Ledbetter Music I was going through life, barely making my way I never really made a difference , I thought that's OK I always stood by the door in a crowded room If the party's over now, It wouldn't be to soon I would never get close, It was a habit to run But let me tell you what you went and done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You turned me right side up, when I was spinning around I was falling but you caught me before I hit the ground You make the sun come up a little brighter each day I had hit a dead end, You gave me right of way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had lost my direction, girl you gave me a map My hibernation from love, just became a nap I was living a lie, now I'm living the dream Girl you know we make a great team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I might not always be right but, I was never wrong At least that's what I thought until you came along When it came to relationships, I never had no use in getting tied down, with my neck in a noose I didn't need no one else, I could make my own fun But let me tell you what you went and done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought love was blind , then you opened my eyes I got a licensed to live on the very first try I used to sing in the shower, now I sing on the stage You took my doubt and fears and put them in a cage When I was drowning in tears, you threw me a line I was the glass of water, that you turned into wine You've brought out the very best in me Girl You know we make a great team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I look back now, the way I went through life Its no wonder I encountered so much daily strife Although I have you now, I wished I had you then I was just waking up and starting over again I lived in darkness, never seeing the sun, but let me tell you went and done ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You turned me right side up, when I was spinning around I was falling but you caught before me I hit the ground You make the sun come up a little brighter each day I had hit a dead end, You gave me right of way I had lost my way, girl you gave me a map My hibernation from love, just became a nap I was living a lie, now I'm living the dream Girl you know we make a great team
