I wrote this song sarcastically for my friend’s wedding that in the end I couldn’t attend. I found with time it become a lot less of a joke, and sweet gesture
[Verse 1]
Could you be that fine love? Mm-mm
That 1949 love, uh-huh, mm
That quiver in your spine love
That summer wine love
Could you be that sweet love? Mm-mm
That sated replete love, uh-huh-mm
That Mediterranean heat love, ooh-ooh-ooh
That stuck-on-repeat love
[Chorus]
Just grab a warm body
And pick up the keys
If you need somebody, somebody to be
You can’t count on timing
Or just wait and see
I'll be that somebody, so settle for me
[Verse 2]
Could you be that great love? Oh-oh-oh
That California state love, uh-huh-mm
That nearly third date love
That almost fake love
On that 1949 love
Walk straight into the fire
I’d bet anything on my love
We’ll be lost in time, love
[Chorus]
Just grab a warm body
And pick up the keys
If you need somebody, somebody to be
You can’t count on timing
Or just wait and see
I'll be that somebody, so settle for me
[Bridge]
I'll give you all the affection
You've been craving
And when you're ready
I'll be waiting, waiting, baby
And I've got, I'll give you all the affection
You've been craving
And when you're ready
I'll be waiting, waiting
[Chorus]
Just grab a warm body
And pick up the keys
'Cause you need somebody
Somebody like me
You can't count on timing
And just wait and see
I'll be that somebody
So darling, if you're ready
To settle
