I had this catchy Motown/disco styled melody since 1993. I was in Denver when a lesbian colleague told me about how her lover treated her and she decided to leave. I thought it would make a good story line for a song but I struggled with the words. I didn't like what I came up with so last year Robert Quigley went through line by line and came up with a terrific set of lyrics. He just rattled them off! I had trouble trying to keep up with copying and pasting what he was typing on WhatsApp! Marilyn Simone, who studied at Berklee, did the vocals.

I'M NOT COMING BACK Words: Robert Quigley, Music: John Walradt

I’m not coming back
I’m not coming back to you
I’m not coming back
What did you think I’d do?

Well, you sipped your latte
And played your guitar
Like a primadonna
Or a wannabe star
But you played me second
And showed no regard
That’s just another example
Of what a jerk you are!

I’m not coming back
I’m not coming back to you
I’m not coming back
What did you think I’d do?

So you think we’re even
Go add up the score
But I wont bring breakfast
To your bed anymore
‘Cause I saw you kiss her
In your silver car
Well, I'm not surprised
Because that's who you are!

And I’m not coming back
I’m not coming back to you
I’m not coming back
What did you think I’d do?

Well, summer is coming
And I’m doing great
Tell me was she worth it
‘Cause you sure took the bait
So go back to your basement
And your little boy games
'Cause I moved along
And forgotten your name.

And I’m not coming back
I’m not coming back to you
You’re a canceled check
Baby, you know you’re through.

I’m not coming back
I’m not coming back to you
I’m not coming back
Baby, I’m through with you.
