Hello Carol; 

I like the rhythm of the song.  The feel is today.  I guess the problem, for me, is that it changes rhythm feeling between the verses and the chorus. Seems to go from straight to a triplet feel.  Still sounds good, just made me do a double take.  Has a similar vibe tune to “Singles you up” by Jordan Davis.  I like the song though.  Thanks for sharing.

I like how you turned a negative into a positive!  My only complaint would be the odd meter on the word “lucky” in the chorus…Other than that, I think you have a winner with this song!

Great song, definite keeper. Love your chorus. Words and music were made for each other. Great job!

Thanks for the positive feedback James, Dave and Marilyn. That’s an Interesting observation about the rhythm and meter of the chorus. Being so close to it as a writer sometimes it’s hard to pick up on those things. Will be interested in what others have to say.

Can’t Do

You say you’re a hot mess
Gettin’ lost even with GPS
Can’t find your keys
Or your ID, that’s fine with me
Never learned to cook
That’s ok ‘cause I put
An order in at Panera Bread, It’ll be here in ten

Pre:
Yah baby it’s true
There’s a lot of things you can’t do

Chorus
You can’t help that I’m tripping on my feet
Can’t know that I feel so damn lucky
To have you waking up with me,
There’s nowhere else I wanna be

You can’t keep me girl
From making you my world
You can’t stop me from loving you, yeah
There’s some things you just can’t do

Can’t see what’s on my mind,
That you’re the lock it down forever kind
Don’t make enemies
‘Cause everyone sees the glow I see
You won’t walk away
When your friend’s had a bad day
Yeah baby you can’t help but make, this world a better place

Repeat Pre and Chorus

Tag
You can’t keep me girl
From making you my world
You can’t stop me from loving you, yeah
There’s some things you just can’t do
