Hi everyone,

It was my plan to release this song in august, but it was ready now. So I thought, why wait?
The title suggest some heavy stuff, but it is not. It is light Bluesy song with a nice chorus (I think).
I pictured myself driving a car on the highway, thinking about everything related to my (former) relation. And how to get rid of it, now that it's starting to look a bit like stalking. I hope you believe me, but all of this is fiction. No one ever stalked me...

I bet some part of you will swing (probably your feet)when listening to this song. If not, listen again(?)
Maybe this sounds a little too frivolous, but I had some setbacks producing it. Now I am very relieved I succed in finishing it. I do hope you like it.

The lyrics:
Stop Stalking
(c) HWBerkhout, july 15 2020

Verse
I drove the highway A44
I had no course driving for
(Harmony: Kind of lonely, this fridaynight)
Still hear the words you once said;
"Love was not what we had"

Still on that highway, 80 miles an hour
Desperately in need of a hot shower
(Harmony: Kind of lonely, this fridaynight)
I started sweating. almost lost control
You want me back. That was your call

Chorus
Oh please woman, don't bother me no more
It ain't you I'm longing for
Stop your stalking, get out of my head
You're only driving me mad
I can't remember  when we've been friends
Way back you decided "Here it ends"
Why are you calling me? That is wrong
You had to know we can't get along
So tell me, what's going on?

Verse
It was your decision to make me feel bad
It still hurts, the things you said
(Harmony: Kind of lonely, every night)
All these words burn in my head:
"Love was not what we had", argh!

=solo=

Chorus
Oh please woman, don't bother me no more
It ain't you I'm longing for
Stop your stalking, get out of my head
You're only driving me mad

Verse
I loved you with all my heart
but that was wrong, I wasn't smart
(Harmony: Kind of lonely, every night)
All the messages I ever sent to you
You never took notice, I was so blue

Chorus
Oh please woman, don't bother me no more
It ain't you I'm longing for
Stop your stalking, get out of my head
You're only driving me mad
     -2x-

So tell me, why you don't understand?
