Lisa,

((((((hugs)))))))

I remember how bad you felt and remember me and Richard Blum (we knew him as Rittman then) were trying to be helpful. It's so weird how some people can say hurtful things like that and not even realize it, until it is spelled out for them.

Rereading your lyric, I realize I love songs that literalize 'the heart' metaphor to some degree like yours does (I did that in a couple of mine). Your lyric reads like an innocent country song from the fifties or early sixties, sweetly humorous in its literalizing of the heart metaphor, and in those terms I think it succeeds quite well.. smile

And the thing is..rereading this..it's really not cliche ridden at all. You took some heart cliches literally and built a story around them, and that makes any cliches in the song..necessary..to drive the narrative..as silly (but fun, dammit!) as that narrative may be.. smile
