There’s a purity to writing song lyrics simply for the joy of telling a story in verse. At least, that’s the mindset behind me writing lyrics today. I should be working on my novel, but I can’t quite bring myself to get into the frame of mind yet. So, I’m relaxing by writing song lyrics. These lyrics would go to a slow country music song where the lyrics are clearly understandable. This is written from a woman’s point of view about the effects of a bad break up.
Not My Type
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
see a smile from a mile away
but it’s not going to sway
I’ve been here before
but I don’t mean to bore
struggling to figure it all out
what it means without a doubt
you seem kind
maybe even divine
we could settle down
start a little family
but I can tell right away
much to my dismay
you’re not my type
you’re not my type
you’re not my type
and that ain’t right
you’ve got hair
place on your head by God on a dare
a stare that leaves me weak
when are we going to meet
I ask myself every time I see on the street
my imagination runs while
but after a while
I understand how it’s going to end
with me saying under my breath
you’re not my type
you’re not my type
you’re not my type
and that ain’t right
[bridge]
when I think back
at the hurt
I wonder how it’ll all end
will I get over him
or will I just wallow in my sin
one more time
one more time for the road
I’ll wait by my house
knowing you’ll never arrive
you’re just a memory
too good for me
