DON’T PUT GOOD LOVIN UP ON A SHELF

As I flop down in my recliner
I notice something don’t feel right
I remember when my baby
would kiss and squeeze me tight

I don’t want this to be another love song gone wrong
I don’t want this to be another love song gone wrong
if you don’t nurture your lovin - hey fella!
you will be all alone (some day)

Now wait a minute…
There’s something you can do
Listen up…

Gonna take a pair of (—-) scissors
and clip some roses off my neighbors vine
sure - I will leave a note and some dollar bills
Just to make up and ease my mind

I don’t want this to be another love song gone wrong
I don’t want this to be another love song gone wrong
Don’t ever take love for granted
Or you’ll end up empty handed… (just idea that came along)

Don’t don’t don’t…

CHORUS
Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf
Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf

—- INSTRUMENTAL SOLO

Dust off that old cardboard table
Blow some kisses from your heart
Someone else yeah could be stealin’
- your good lovin away from you

I don’t want this ..
I don’t want this ...

But if you don’t nurture you lovin’
You will be - hey fella!
All alone one day

CHORUS
Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf
Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf

Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf
Don’t Put A Good Lovin’ Up On A Shelf

- TILL FADE

Lyrics by Shirley Elane Matthews
Cowriter~~Johnny Hoeve:
DON’T PUT GOOD LOVIN UP ON A SHELF
{ A Johnny Hoeve Production}
Moon Pub Production:..:..:..

hmmmmmm,, There seem to be some variation With This Lyric;;
it was revised several times..soooo''Johnny Has The Final
copy...

Thanx,
Shirl;o

Hiya Shirl:

I'm diggin' this!

Perfect example of a highly effective one-line chorus - Really has me moving over here

I don't like to nit lyrics that much - particularly in a song like this where the feeling seems more important than the specific words. So this isn't a nit as much as curiosity on my part - what's the significance of the dollar bills and the cardboard table?

VERY cool

Scott

P.S. I love the notion of using "love song gone wrong" versus "love gone wrong song"

Hi Shirley. Really love it. Great groove.

Stevie

...:)..LOl... Hello... Scott..:)
Thanx for Stopping by..to comment
on this Piece...

I;m really glad this Piece got you moving..:0


This;;Lyric Was REvised,,several times~~

But As i REcall''..The Dollar bills is inreference
to..''leavin a lil money to appease the dude ;s mind
and cool out the neighbor,,because That;s basically
stealin..[ in some places you might get shot]..lol..
soooo..leavin a lil money is a way to;;ease the dude
mind ;;who is clippin the roses...and
easing the neighbors mind..


******
The dusting off of the card board table
is ;;a reminder to him ''that his love
for his lady is just like that cardboard table
sitting in the corner..being ignored and taken
for granted...[just a metaphor]..:)

Hi Shirl;o

I really like the beat on this song and the lyrics work real wel for me.

It reminds me of when I saw the stones live many years ago. Perfect Jagger song I would say.

My fav lines are:

----------
Don’t ever take love for granted
Or you’ll end up empty handed
---------

Keep them coming and I will keep enjoying

God Bless Roy and Helen

Great song guys.
Energetic arrangement and performance.
Cool message. The style of the song reminds me of Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Maybe Classic rock with a hint of Blues.
Great sound.
Well Done...

-Nelson

Cool groove on this, Shirley. I can hear the Jagger reference and see him struttin' around on stage, pigeon-style like he does. I think horns would be a nice add for this. I really liked the last part.

Shirley,

I love these lyrics and i've tried many times to hear Johnny sining but it is in bits and pieces that I get to hear, I only have dial up and unless it's on soundclick and I can hear it lofi..is the only way I'll get to hear it. anyway from what I did hear it soungs good....but wanted you to know that i've tried..thanks glyn

Hell;o;O.. Wendy..whoa..Oh yes..I have soooo many
memories of Mick Jagger'''struttin''across the stage
The dude ''still got it going on..Hell;o...:)
Thanx,,for the comments..Wendy..Johnny is gonna
be inspired by your comnments..Whoa.. this one
of my favorite Pieces..;o..

thanx,,

Wendy..

Hi Shirl..

I like this verse. Money doesn't grow on trees, but it's growing on a vine.

Gonna take a pair of scissors
and clip some roses off my neighbors vine
sure - I will leave a note and some dollar bills
Just to make up and ease my mind

This line doesn't flow right. Seems rushed at the end. Maybe drop the beginning "I" or maybe it's the triple rhyme at the end.

I don’t want this to be another love song gone wrong

Great production. Enjoyed it.

Rick

Hell;o Glyn,,it;s good to see ya,,youre a sweetheart..:)
