She Can't Love You
by @bethkille
Liner Notes
Just overheard a guitar lick in a t.v. commercial when my husband was watching a basketball game yesterday. I figured out a variation of it with a synth sound and started babble-singing over the top of a chord progression....and well, this is what fell out...a warning about the hazards of taking a crush too far.
Lyrics
CHORUS Don’t do it. You’ll just ruin it You know that she can’t love you x2
VERSE 1 Snuck up on you and turned you on You didn’t expect to Feel this longing Just a little flirtatious The attraction grows Your inhibitions gone As the red wine flows You know that you can look But you sh-sh-shouldn’t touch So hard to believe You could feel so much
PRECHORUS 1 You can have her as a friend for the rest of your life Or maybe you could burn it up For just one night
CHORUS
VERSE 2 Now everywhere you turn You see her face if you could only get her outta this crowded place Would you say the words Would you finally admit Oh no, D--D-Don’t you do it, You’ll only regret it You’re a little bit crazy Can’t clear your head 'Cause all you wanna do is take her back to your bed
PRECHORUS 2 You can have as a friend for the rest of your life Or you burn it up Right here tonight
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Snap out of it
Use your head
Take a deep breath
Come to your senses
The sirens are blaring
The red lights flash
Why do you ache
For a deadly crash
DOUBLE CHORUS w/Verse 1 overlap

You sh-sh-sh-should add this to your live repertoire! Makes my 80s kid heart happy. It's giving me "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John vibes.
I really love this sound! It's really different from other songs I have heard you sing. Shows your versatility. Thanks for sharing this!
Vocals and vocal harmonies on point! I like the interjecting synth too!
wow great sound! great production. great vocals. catchy. you sound like a pro.
This is so darn catchy! Love the groove and the great vocals! Wise words of advice but, dang, I gotta admit, there is that little devilish id of a muse within me that would be screaming Just Do It! 😂 Thank goodness that the rational super ego usually rules.
Such a poppy tune! Live the groove - especially the descending bent-note synthesizer riff. Catchy!!!
Love this groove - the chorus is kick in’ it! I think captures a very relatable idea Love the production, too. Killer last couple lines! Super Duper!
Love the Sh-sh-shouldn't touch and D-d-don't do it. Irresistible!
