Lyrics / "HOW IN THE WORLD"

    ”HOW IN THE WORLD

  I was just sitting at the bar
  Like I do every Friday night
  Cause I could never dance
  Or turn a girl’s head on sight
  And that’s sure no mystery

  Then this one pretty girl asked me
  If this empty seat was taken
  With a no I spilled my beer
  Her smile helped me stop shaking
  And the rest is history

  Chorus:

  How In The World, how in this world
  Could such a pretty girl
  Fall in love with me
  How In The World, how in this world
  Could such a lovely girl
  Fall in love with a guy like me

  Her arms hold me every night
  Like I’m some kind of special prize
  And after we make love
  My mind still can’t realize
  And will never understand

  Cause my heart’s fell in love before
  But this love’s different you see
  Some how this girl just happen
  To fall in love with yes me
  It must be God’s helping hand

  Repeat Chorus;

  Bridge:

  I use to say holy cow
  What’s a pretty girl like that
  Doing with that bow wow
  And today I’m that guy
  Imagine that…Imagine that

  Repeat Chorus:

The words tell a tale of a common predicament, the lonely man unsure of love—how to go about finding it; then how to deal with it when it arrives all of a sudden, unable to understand the how or where of its appearance. This makes it easy to relate to and draws the listener in.

The problem for me is that you make a jump from informal nervous contact (”...I spilled my beer”) to hot and heavy romance (“Her arms hold me every night”) with no indication of a connection being made, beyond her smile (“Her smile helped me stop shaking”). How about a hint as to what attracts her? His eyes? Voice? Quiet manner that she takes for aloof confidence? I think we need something to cement the formation of the relationship.

Thanks for the read.

This is a nice sentiment. The lyrics are good in spots and just okay in others, but I like the story behind the story. My only recommendation would be to address some of the rhyming words that struck me as a bit hokey “holy cow” and “bow wow” unless they fit the idea you were driving at, of course.

I believe that this is a light hearted did at oneself that works very well. Its cute.. although I am not sure that you would like your song described as ‘cute’ but that is what i found it to be. I only suggest that in your review notes you mention the genre of the song.. for eg: love song/pop/rock etc.. that might help with reviewing it.
Thanks for sharing.

I love these lyrics. Most of us feel inadequate in our lives at some point in time, especially when it comes down to companionship. I have ruin many relationships just by the mere fact of thinking how in the world do they even like me. Something must be wrong with them. I absolutely love this, you put words to a feeling many people can’t express. AWESOME!!!

This is nice. Not really something that I myself enjoy but I could see, targeted at the right audience, with a very snappy tune could be a success. Definitley would have to be a pop song, to light for anything else. I would suggest going back and trimming up some of the lines to make it more of a flow.  ” Or turn a girl’s head on sight ” has got to go in my opinion, way too forced sounding. keep at it
