I too like this chord progression, and I would love to take credit for it... alas, Suno gets all the credit!

Thanks Andrew! I usually perform in online streaming sites, and I've found that method of adding chords to my lyric sheets to work out far better than the conventional approach of putting the chords above the lyrics. The main reason is that if you ever change the font, the chords won't move out of position when they are embedded with the lyrics.

Full disclosure: the word "buoy" is likely to be pronounced both ways here in the USA... I rhymed it the way I would pronounce it here in the American south. To those who would pronounce it differently, I'll plead artistic license (or just plain ignorance)!

EDIT: it might be worth mentioning that I used a rhyming dictionary in the creation of these lyrics, and it suggested BUOY as a rhyme for DO WE.

That line was purposefully inserted to add a bit of relief at the end of a section that was becoming wayyy too serious. Truth be told, I have yet to meet a woman who doesn't feel thrilled to be called a brat. It's a term that validates her mischievous inclinations while simultaneously allowing her culpable deniability for any and all previous bratty actions. I agree that the best friendships are sometimes confrontational but honest.

I like that you chose to comment on the lyrics, since in a SUNO AI project that's the creator's primary value-add. In this case they aren't generic, they are specific to an imagined scenario... so I understand they could seem a bit odd if applied to women in general.

Interesting observation, Andrew. You've caught me off guard with that question. You're right to notice the effect a minor key puts on the mood of the song. Now that you've forced me to consider why I went down that path, I'd have to say it was less to create sadness and more to create the feeling of discomfort that happens when two people negotiate the terms of a relationship. The obvious implication being that it's uncomfortable because one of them puts their heart on the line and the other one might say "no"
