Eddie Mugavero: music
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Cathryn Craig)
I remember bouncing this off Cathryn when I finished it. I thought it was too "weird" for some reason. Maybe because the melody was really original. Not sure, but Cathy loved it so we recorded it, and it since has been recorded by several artists.
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK
HOW CAN I BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN YOU’RE NOT HERE
HOW CAN I BE TRUE WHEN YOU KEEP LYIN’
HOW CAN I BE FAITHFUL WHEN YOU STOPPED BELIEVING IN OUR LOVE
HOW CAN WE SUCCEED WHEN YOU AIN’T TRYIN’?
HOW LONG CAN I SHOW PASSION WHEN YOU’RE COLD AS ICE
HOW LONG CAN I HANG ON WHEN YOU’VE LET GO
HOW LONG CAN I BE UNDERSTANDING WHEN I’M SO CONFUSED
HOW LONG CAN I WAIT FOR YOU TO SHOW?
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK? IT AIN’T YOUR HEART
IF ONLY YOU’D ALLOW ME IN THAT FAR
THEN I MIGHT UNDERSTAND BUT BABY
I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE
WHAT MAKES YOU TICK?..IT AIN’T YOUR HEART
THERE’S NOTHING IN THIS WORLD I WOULDN’T DO FOR YOU
THERE’S NO ONE IN THIS WORLD I’D RATHER LOVE
BUT EVERY DAY I DIE A LITTLE MORE I’M LOSING STRENGTH
I’M COUNTIN’ DOWN, IS OUR TIME UP?
