Danny Stevenson: lead vocal; Bruce and Hal Stevenson: backing vocals
Danny heard me do this one solo (with me singing all the parts) and suggested that we try to include our younger brother Hal and make it a “Three Brothers” song. The song is light-hearted and fun, and the idea of us singing together for the first time ever was fun, too. It is a fitting legacy work – and those who have done recording know how TRUE the lyrics are!
I asked my girl to marry me, but she just wasn’t impressed
So I started to write her this song, now I’m so damned stressed.
I’m not too good with words, you see – and the harmony is just a mess,
But if I can get this right, she might say yes!
It’s gonna take about a hundred takes to get this song just right,
And it’ll take another hundred more if I’m gonna sleep tonight.
She said she wouldn’t want to string me along – that she’s not the marrying kind,
But when she hears this song, she’s gonna change her mind!
It’s gonna take about a hundred takes to get this song just right,
And it’ll take another hundred more if I’m gonna sleep tonight.
The perfect chords and words that are oh so true –
The perfect song for sayin “I Love You!”
It’s gonna take about a hundred takes to get this song just right,
And it’ll take another hundred more
If I want her, if I want her, if I want her to be mine!
