#396539 - 02/17/17 10:51 PM [User Showcase] Don't Need A Man To Make Me Feel Like A Woman - Featuring Janice Merritt
Registered: 12/06/03 Posts: 4087 Loc: Sydney Australia PeterF Veteran Registered: 12/06/03 Posts: 4087 Loc: Sydney Australia	Don't Need A Man To Make Me Feel Like A Woman Leon sent me a song idea with Janice in mind. It was an interesting lyric! – just had to fit lines such as: Like a fish needs a velocipede Had to look that one up on Wikipedia. Fortunately for us Janice kindly agreed to sing – Leon obviously channeled his feminine side whilst writing this but I’m not sure it would have sounded right with him singing. Lyrics – Leon Vocals -the incomparable Janice Merritt I played the guitar and put it all together Thanks to Bud for recording Janice, feedback on the mix and encouragement. The Band: RealTracks in song: 2610:Bass, Electric, SoulFunkSwingAlex Sw 120 RealTracks in style: 2437:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffleKevin Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 2436:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle Horns – some old horn samples I had lying around Don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman You think that ladies love outlaws But honey let me set you straight What gets my temperature rising Listen up, and I will relate I need a man I can talk to Who understands what I need Not a stud with only one talent I got to care for and feed I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true I’m looking for a man who’s not afraid To reveal his softer side A man who knows just when to push And when to let it slide I need a man who’s not a stranger To poetry and art Who’s gentle, kind and sensitive But with a lion’s heart I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true You think that ladies love outlaws Oh, but that’s been overstated A lady wants a man to make her life Easier, not more complicated Some say a woman needs a man Like a fish needs a velocipede And while I don’t agree There are certain qualities I need You’ve got to treat me like an equal in every way Pick up on the subtle signs I send Pay close attention to every word I say Be my demon lover as well as my best friend I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true I don’t need a man to make me feel like a woman Just need a man I can rely on to be true

The writing is strong, the melody is top notch, the arrangement is as creative as they come, the mix is excellent and Janice's vocals raise the proverbial roof (Janice, you've absolutely nailed singing the lyrics!). I don't know what to say! For that reason, I'm leaving it up to you. Please choose whichever one or more of the below appeal to you first class stunning totally enjoyable professional through and through clever skillful music at its best absolute quality All the best, Noel P.S. I'm in awe of anyone who can use 'velocipede' in lyrics and then set it to music! _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO
