BLACK WIDOW

Copyright Gwyneth Rose

All rights reserved

I’M DRESSED TO KILL – I JUST ARRIVED IN TOWN

I’M SINGLE AND I’M SEXY – AND PROWELING AROUND

I’M ON THE LOOKOUT – HUNTING FOR A MAN

HE MUST BE VERY RICH – YOU UNDERSTAND

(CHO1)  THEY CALL ME A BLACK WIDOW – WITH A VENOMOUS KISS

I SPIN A DANGEROUS WEB – THAT NO MAN CAN RESIST

BUT DON’T LISTEN TO GOSSIP BABY – I’LL PROMISE YOU THIS

YOU’LL BE IN HEAVEN – BABY – SHORTLY AFTER OUR FIRST KISS

IT SEEMS THAT I GO – FOR THE ACCIDENTAL BOUND

PLANTED FOUR GOOD HUSBANDS – IN THE COLD HARD GROUND

THE LAW SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY – THEY DIDN’T LIKE THE SOUND

THEY DIED FROM UNKNOWN CAUSES – NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND

(CHO2)  I’LL THROW MY WICKED WEB – TRAP YOU IN DESIRE

I’LL GIVE YOU SUCH A RUSH – YOU CAN’T GET ANY HIGHER

I’LL DRAW YOU IN SO DEEP – INTO MY WICKED WEAVE

I’LL BURN YOU INSIDE OUT – AND I WON’T EVEN GRIEVE

THEY CALL ME A BLACK WIDOW – THEY WANT TO PUT ME AWAY

THERE ARE WHISPERS ROUND THIS TOWN – BUT IT’S ONLY HEARSAY

TONIGHT I’M DRESSED TO KILL – AT MY TABLE ALL ALONE

LOOKING FOR A LOVER – WHO’D LIKE A NICETOMBSTONE - (CHO1) OUT 

Like I said in one of your other posts, our date is DEFINITELY off!!  lol!  What a great write! Is this set to music already? I'd LOVE to hear it!

Skipp

Ok I won't start looking for a nice tomestone for Skipp quite yet! Looks like I'll have to wear you down hehehe

Well, Raymie James who is a fantastic muso put music to it, then he sent it off to a pro vocalist to sing it about 6 months ago

but she let him down. So it's incomplete as yet. He's just so busy, I don't want to nag him, maybe I'll find someone else to

put music to it. No harm in having 2 versions, always interesting! Got hope for this one

Wow!

Warning, Warning, Danger, Danger! Lol

Yes, I look forward to hearing the music, Gwyneth.  : )

I would not want to meet this woman in a dark alley or anywhere anytime. . Just saying. Great write Gwyneth. To say it's different would be an understatement. Charles Manson could use a peppy tune about his life. I hear he's getting married. It could be a love song. Hah!

Hahahaha - Thanks so much Carl and Gario. Glad you enjoyed. All in fun........

Another wonderful write Gwyneth, you are so descriptive, your words always paint a picture. Imagery is fantastic...... if just a little troubling   

LOL Alan, It's called "imagination" hehehe - thanks for the lovely comments. ....and keep yours

coming, love your work!

This black widow holds nothing back. She knows what she is and doesn't mind telling us.  Maybe one moment in heaven is worth the price. 

LOL Now you're just the type of man she's looking for.......

 hmmmmm provided your'e well off of course hehehehehe

Hello Gwyneth,

I'm not afraid of spiders.  I'm elated at finding this song and you.  omg, your picture, so beautiful.  I'm strong, handsom, and a very rich lawyer.  excuse me for a sec...

What did you say Maw?  That stupid toilet stopped up again?  And the chickens did what all over the floor?  "Watch Out for that rotton boar....

too late!  I told you that board was rotten.  I even bought you a new board for you to fix it with.  Shucks! I was fixin to meat me a city girl.

Hey Gwyneth, i'm back.  I can hardly wait to....      I'm not going to get away with this, am I?  Thought not.

Seriously now,

You have put together a great set of lyrics here.  Shows your tallent for writing.  The right music, the right vocals, and this would be a great song.  Especially for a movie.  Well done Mam.

Hi Jody,

Enchante"! LOL You are too funny, you had me smiling ear to ear with this. Thanks so much for the kind words, I had a ball writing it.

Yes, I had high hopes for it at the time, Even got a muso to collab with the instrumentals and he sent it away to a Professional female vocalist with $100 for her services, but somehow it never materialised... Still don't know what happened. But maybe someone, somewhere will see it and pick it up - yeah I can dream on..... LOL

BTW, would love it if you put up something of yours, maybe one of your favs in the "Artists Showcase" in Poets Corner.

Are you another Cowboy living in Texas? I started writing this song for a Cowboy I know  living there ...

Last Cowboy

He's the last Cowboy

all the rest have moved on

to wearing baseball caps

and shades for the sun

LOL

Hi G,

Great lyric!!! This black widow sounds irresistibly sexy and very dangerous to me. I'm sure I'd fall prey to her if we ever met in some dark mysterious place. I wish it was a song because it would sound way beyond awesome.

Tony

Hi T

Thanks so much for that wonderful comment my friendy. I wish it was too :-( hehehe - yes, she's the ultimate femme fetale on steriods LOL

Still got hope for her.......

Hi again,

I'm sorry to hear you never got your singing stuff, and lost a hundred dollars.  But, look at it this way: Perhaps something went wrong in that girls life and she could'nt do the vocals or return your money.  And, that hundred dollars was a blessing for her.  I would wish her well.

You're a good writer.  Your songs reflect that.   This was our motto in the Army:  Never give up.  Never give up.  Never give up.

Yep! I'm a cowboy.  I even rode a horse once.  Are ya gonna write a song for me too?  i like songs

This is my favorite stanza:  YOU'LL BE IN HEAVEN - BABY -  SHORTLY AFTER OUR FIRST KISS

I got kissed once.  Almost ended up in Heaven!

That girl jumped up, grabbed me, gave me a great big sloppy kiss.

Those buck-teeth of hers almost ripped off both of my lips.

Last thing I remember was goin out a second story winder.

I woke up in the ER.

Nurse smilled.  Doctor said: Welcome back, what happened?

I said: I got smooched.  Doc said: You got what?

I said: got smooched.  Doc looked at the nurse and said:  Yep! There's brain damage.

LOL you are just too funny Wish you'd mosey over to my forum Poets Corner.Need a firecracker like you there

Come by anytime. Maybe post one of your songs in the "Artists Showcase". I'll keep an eye out for you

Absolutely wonderful lyrics Gwyneth! I hear black widows have other proclivities, like hanging around music forums, belly dancing, affection for cats, and a weakness for teddy bears . . .  I'm going to be really careful if I ever come across a person like that! Ott

Whoa… I guess it’s not a coincidence that only the female black widow has a distinct red hourglass marking on her underside.  Looks like all the guys she hooks up with run out of time pretty darn fast.   These are great lyrics.  I’d love to hear the song when it hits.   Great job ~ Nelson 

LOL -  Thanks so much Ott..... and yes, so you should be!.... You could be playing with fire.......

Yes, it's the warning mark of danger.... Strange that all the guys she hooks up with ignore that distinct warning. I guess

the temptation of her allure is too sweet to resist.

Glad you liked the lyrics Nelson, thank you. Yes, I am really hoping this will still become a  completed song. When it does

I'll definately post it

BTW I answered your question in the Artists Showcase
