A song I originally wrote in the style of The Everly Brothers with a very strong hook. A couple of my songs actually start off with the chorus, and this is one of them. It’s meant to grab a hold of you right away and have you singing along by the end of the song. I think this one does that pretty well. It’s a long title, but what can I say? It's the hook. I think it works, it does what I wanted it to do. I think this one would be perfect for a harmony duo like Aztec Two-Step. They sing the Everly Brothers beautifully. This is the song that Jay Miggins added percussion on by using his drumsticks to tap out a beat on a piano bench. I'm pretty sure he picked that up from Ringo, who was known to tap out a beat on just about anything, including his thighs on "I'll Follow The Sun." We decided to make this a fade out at the end of the album, which is a dramatic departure from the way the first album ended, which was rather abruptly with the "yeah right!" at the end of "Drinkin' Tonight." I like the face out here, I think it works very nicely.

I Guess I'm Never Gonna Get Completely Over You
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)
-chorus-
I guess I’m never gonna get completely over you,
I’m always gonna think about the things we used to do,
I can’t believe it’s over after all that we’ve been through,
I guess I’m never gonna get completely over you.
You were mine... before you left me for some other guy,
I thought that I’d recovered but it hurts again tonight,
What can I take... to ease the pain... I just can’t find a clue,
I guess I’m never gonna get completely over you...
-repeat chorus-
I get by... I never show the way I feel inside,
I’ll find another lover but it’s gonna take some time,
What can I say...it’s just a game...but oooh it hurts to lose,
I guess I’m never gonna get completely over you...
-repeat chorus twice and fade-
