This is based on a true story (not me, but someone) except for the Hitman part hehehe I embellished that.  Thinking Country with this one. Any sugg of feedback would be much appreciated. Looking for a collaborator if this takes


anyone's fancy  Happy


 


I’ve tried a million times


But it seems I always fail


I just can’t shake him loose


 Got a Stalker on my tail


Got a stalker……


Got a Stalker……


……On my tail


 


I met him first on Facebook


He already knew my name


Accepted his friend request


He went by the name of Wayne


At first, he seemed so darn nice


Didn’t know terror was his game


 


I’ve tried a million times


But it seems I always fail


I just can’t shake him loose


 Got a Stalker on my tail


Got a stalker……


Got a Stalker……


……On my tail


 


The more I got to know him


I realized he was insane


Sends me countless messages


Says I’m so hot, I’m to Blame


Follows me everywhere I go


Said I’m his, He’s laid his claim


 


I’ve tried a million times


But it seems I always fail


I just can’t shake him loose


 Got a Stalker on my tail


Got a stalker……


Got a Stalker……


……On my tail


 


Chased all my boyfriends away


Burnt my cat, set him aflame


Cops can’t help there is no proof


Need hard evidence for blame


Starting to fear for my life


Please do it! That’s why I came

Been hunting high and low for you Mr. X.


Want to take out a contract on a pest


What’s your rate? Heard you the best!


Just do it quick so I can get some rest

Hi Gwyneth!


Something that might enhance the effect of the story is this reveal: how did stalker get the singer's address?


ie transition from 'on-line' to 'a stare across the room at 'Starbucks'...how did he know??...then terror stikes deep!


 


I didn't know until the end that the singer is having a meet with Mr X, telling him the story and getting the contract....that was a little like falling off a cliff I didn't know was there. I don't know if thats good or bad. Its radical. The stalker has driven the singer to an extreme....the music would turn very stark, monotone, flatline....scary!! Maybe not country genre


 


Great topic in this lyric.

Hi Bill,


LOL - I know The transition is a bit fast or abrupt in direction of the song hehehehe


Thanks for the sugg. The stalker trolled his way around FB and found a pretty girl. It happens all the time these days.


I'm changing a couple of things on the lyric which I think will make it stronger, losing the cat line and then that last radical


line LOL also going to put in another repeat line in the chorus which will make it flow better for music I think.


 


Thanks so much for you comments and feedback, really appreciate it.


 


Take care

Okay so I've made some changes to the lyric, replaced the cat line as well as the last line of the 3rd verse


it was a bit too abrupt in direction of the song. Hopefully this is much stronger now:-

What’s your rate of pay?


Can you get it done today?


I’ve been hunting for the best


To free me from this pest


What do you say, Mr. X?
