This is SUCH an interesting exercise because the feedback I am getting can be immediately applied to the next song I write. Keep the feedback coming, I really appreciate it and it is definitely making this a better FAWM for me.
This one I have tried to cut out all the unnecessary words (I can still see a few that can be cut next time) I have tried to match the backing with the lyrics a bit better, tried to use more appropriate images and also tried to make the theme more generic, so hopefully that all makes me a better songwriter!
I quite like this one and feel it may have some potential with a little polishing.
Song Number 5 Like a Lady
(no co-writers on this one). LIKE A LADY I dont pretend to know
dont know all the things
dont know all a boy could do
to give his lady wings
If our daughters knew there
different kinds of men
some treat her like lady
some like a friend
Some will make the small things count
others count all the small things
You got to know
how to treat her like a lady
You got to know
how to treat her like a queen
Make her feel like a princess
clothe her in dignity
She'd know a caring man
not one that's careless
One that lends a hand
not one that's helpless
Our daughters would settle for
those different kinds of men
They treat her like a lady
Not just a friend
CHORUS
if we teach our girls
to separate the two
then teach our sons to be that
man
