Recently Richard had these lyrics in the Writers Room and there was a discussion about lyrics having a positive slant. It's a true statement and a great argument when planning to pitch a song to someone else.There have been less than happy songs written in every genre that comes to mind but the majority are upbeat.However in rock music attitude comes into play and in this case I'd say Richards lyrics have a lot of attitude.So being the old rebel that I am I came up with a rock melody to go with it.CRANK IT UP!!!!!!!
I found out, the harder I try to be nice
the more a woman will misteat me
over time I've become jaded,uncaring
and I live my life most happily
chorus
So if you want an answer to your question
If there's anything I give a damn about
here's my suggestion to you
figure it out,It's just the way that I am
I don't worry about how others feel
it's of no consequence
I just do my own thing
behind a wall of tall fences
chorus
It's so much fun to explore
when there's a need to find out more
Truth be told,the more you wonder
the deeper the mystery becomes
when two in love are not an open book
it's more exciting,if you know not.....where I'm coming from
chorus out

Thanks to John Vietmeyer for putting the reveille guitar hook on the song.
