Eddie Mugavero: music
GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE
(Written by Eddie Mugavero & Bob Dellaposta-Sung by Tim Boone)
One of my and Bob's first cowritten songs, written around a cliche. Our 'hook' books were filled with these in those days, and we wrote every single one! I like the performances in this basement demo.
GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE
COULDNT KEEP THE FIRE BURNING
COULDNT KEEP THE CHAMPAGNE COLD
TRIED SOME CONVERSATION
BUT EVEN THAT GOT OLD
I HAD SUCH GOOD INTENTIONS
BUT NOTHING TURNED OUT RIGHT
MY HIGH EXPECTATIONS
HIT AN ALL TIME LOW TONIGHT
GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE
I KNEW IT ALL ALONG
WITH YOU LOVE FELT SO NATURAL
WITH HER IT FEELS ALL WRONG
ITS SO HARD TO FORGET YOU
TRIED EVERY WAY I CAN
GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE
THEN YOU'D UNDERSTAND
THREW THE CHAMPAGNE ON THE FIRE
I COULDNT DRINK IT ANYWAY
LOST ALL MY DESIRE
HAD NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
NO ONE CAN REPLACE YOU
YOU'D THINK BY NOW I'D LEARN
GUESS YOU HAD TO BE THERE
TO MAKE THE FIRE BURN
