Eddie Mugavero: music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

As a rabid NY Giant football fan, I used to go to a bar called the Box Seat in Nashville to watch games. Every team had their contingency, and one particular Sunday in '93, I sat near a dude who was absolutely "Jersey", and positively an artist. He said, "How ya doin"...I said, "How YOU doin"..At halftime, we decided we needed to hang out and write. The following Monday he came over, and we wrote this, based on a true story. When this song was completed, we knew we had something pretty cool and special, and embarked on a wild, whacky journey. Range, drama, and passion. David is Elvis, Orbison and Tom Jones all rolled into one.

I BETTER LET YOU GO

THIS IS A SURPRISE I THOUGHT YOU LOST MY NUMBER
I GUESS I’M DOING FINE..SO TELL ME, HOW’VE YOU BEEN
YOU SAY YOU NEED YOUR KEY, I THINK I HAVE IT SOMEWHERE
MAYBE WE COULD MEET…OH, YOU’RE STILL SEEING HIM?
IN THAT CASE NEVER MIND…I’LL LEAVE IT JUST COME BY
SOMEDAY WHEN YOU HAVE TIME..IS THAT YOUR PHONE OR MINE?

I BETTER LET YOU GO
BEFORE I LET YOU KNOW
I’M DYING WITHOUT YOU
THERE AIN’T NO GETTING THROUGH
SO DARLING PLEASE DON’T CALL
CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER FALL
I CAN’T KEEP HOLDING ON
SINCE YOU’RE ALREADY GONE
I BETTER LET YOU GO

REMEMBER HOW WE BURNED? SET THOSE LINES ON FIRE
NOW SOMEONE ELSE’S WORDS ARE RINGING IN YOUR HEART
I KNOW IT’S GETTING LATE, I GUESS YOU HAVE TO RUN NOW
YOU SAY YOU HAVE A DATE, HE’S WAITING IN THE CAR
WELL HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME, I’LL THINK OF YOU TONIGHT
I HOPE HE TREATS YOU RIGHT…I GUESS THIS MEANS GOODBYE..
