This was written with Lucy Le Blanc and Bill O'Hanlon at an online write...
The story was inspired a trip to the dentist and the technician was unexpectedly covered in tattoos and the title was born...
We have a number of version of the song musically... this is the Rock version
Any feedback is welcome
This is a great recording, and a great vocal performance, Paul! Those guitar tracks are excellent. Just a really polished, radio ready mix from top to bottom. Makes me really jealous. Lol….I’m hearing a little of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” on that intro and verse groove, and the chorus is really Bon Jovi sounding…. Just a great song and recording. I’m glad I stumbled upon this one and listened.

Designs on You
© Aug. 21/2019….Bill O’Hanlon, Paul DeMarco, Lucy LeBlanc
I see you every mornin’
You flash your usual smile
You know the latte I want before I utter a word
Damn, I’ve always loved your style
When you go to ring up my order
Your t-shirt falls just off your shoulder
‘n I see that tattoo
A different side of you
A broken heart with angel wings
Chorus:
You’ve got designs on you
I wanna see some more
I’ve got designs on you too
You’re making this broken heart soar
Who knew that love could start with a torn tattoo
Got designs on you
I wanna know that story
Who left that mark on you?
Tell me who broke your heart, how did you rise above it
How did you make it through?
There’s a mystery about you now
You’ve gotten underneath my skin somehow
Wanna learn everything
About those angel wings
And uncover who you really are
Chorus:
You’ve got designs on you
I wanna see some more
I’ve got designs on you too
You’re making this broken heart soar
Who knew that love could start with a torn tattoo
Got designs on you
