about

...just a glorious ode to romance and physical attraction!...lots of fun with the litany of similes and metaphors...we began with an electric rhythm guitar over the synth percussion figure...when Ron was testing out the drum samples I liked the fragmented random sound pattern and we worked on finessing that a little for the opening and its return in the 2nd verse...the piano figure sets up the verse so that it doesn't need much else as far as rhythm instrumentation... Ron suggested some vocal ad libs in the pre-chorus...I wrote the chorus first and everything followed from there...I enjoy going into half-time segments here and there and you hear that in the pre-chorus and bridge...as you will in some of my other songs...a little heaviness sneaks in at the end...

lyrics

DON’T STOP
You got me dizzy like a dingo in the desert
You got me giddy like a schoolboy in love
You got me shakin’ like a junkie in a fever
You got me crazy and I can’t get enough
You got me jumpin’ like a jack rabbit runnin’
What is this crazy thing I think I’m fallin’ in?
You got me burnin’ like a fire on fire
You gotta know this crazy heart is wearin’ thin
Never felt this way til you knocked on my door
Dealin’ with this feelin’ that I just can’t ignore
And I like—I really like what you’re doin’
And I like—The way you do what you do
And I like—I really like where this is goin’
And I like—Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me, girl
Don’t stop what you’re doin’ ‘cause like it
Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me
Don’t stop what you’re doin’ to me-- what you’re doin’ to me
What you’re doin’—what you’re doin’ to me
You got me shakin’ like a hurricane blowin’
You got me flippin’ like a feather in a storm
You got me growlin’ like a tiger in a teacup
I got the chills baby come and keep me warm
Tried to give you up but I just could not do it
Ain’t nothin’ left to do but to get right down to it
And I like . . . .
[Chorus]
We can take a holiday—you can drive me crazy all night long
Don’t you dare hold it back—you know I really like it when you come on strong
You got me moanin’ every night into my pillow
You got me feelin’ like I never felt before
You got me growlin’ like a tiger in a teacup
You got me hungry baby—got to have some more
[chorus]
[Chorus]
