hey this is my first submission and probably the first song i have ever completely wrote....jamir's clever chorus helped me a lot...let me know what you guys think and definitely criticize i can handle it haha

jamir's drop the g string

VERSE  1
when im down and theres no one to lift me high
my sweet wooden baby is whom i always rely
shes sings to me softly in the dark of the night
i work out her tension she make it all alright

CHORUS
"Drop the G string baby
you're wound up much to tight
Let me help you get in tune
No need to fret tonight "

all your fussing and rushing tense me to no end
but when im with you baby, baby i need no other friend
even when im low you got me feeling so high
its so crazy hunny you aint even gotta try

let me hold you and

CHORUS

baby baby baby you drive me so damn wild
baby baby baby got me acting like a child
baby baby baby your everything i need
oh baby baby for you i'd run to bleed

Keep on rockin'

Hi rustnvrsleeps

For a first submission this is really well written and cleverly done - oh yeah and clean.   ;)

Some lines just seem a bit too long

but when im with you baby, baby i need no other friend

I would take out the second baby

And in the last verse maybe look at knocking out some of the 'baby, baby, baby' parts. As a suggestion

baby baby baby you drive me so d**n wild
baby baby baby got me acting like a child
baby baby baby your everything i need
oh baby baby for you i'd run to bleed

to

Oh baby you can drive me so d**n wild
And you've got me acting like a child
It's simple your everything i need
oh baby for you i'd run to bleed

Good stuff

Hi Rustnvrsleeps :)

good song i enjoyed reading it. I agree with bob on the chorus. The last line in the chorus threw me of just for a little until I realized you meant a guitar run, fingers bleed ect. But I'm thinking someone who don't play guitar may not know what you mean.Just the same I like it.
Just a thought.

take care
inkpen :)

Make sure you don't twist the lines around for meter's sake.  A good test is would you say them that way.

"my sweet wooden baby is whom i always rely "

that one for instance.
