about

I came up with this title a long time ago, and when I wrote the lyrics I thought it was the best thing I had ever done. So good in fact that initially I doubted my ability to write a melody worthy of the lyrics so I put it aside and left it alone for a long time. I was hoping to find a co-writer to help me finish this song and give it a melody that was unique and powerful. But then I took a bunch of lyric sheets to the beach one day and when I saw these lyrics the melody just flowed out of me. I believe that despite my self-doubt, the melody was always there. I had it. I just needed to believe in myself and my ability to write a good melody for what I consider to be an incredible set of lyrics. That day on the beach I looked at dozens of lyric sheets and came up with melodies for six of them right there on the spot, I just started singing the songs, immediately recorded them on my portable digital recorder, went home, figured out the chords on the guitar and recorded home-made demos. Just like that. This is a really great song, maybe the best song I've ever written. I have no doubt that it's a hit waiting to happen. The title alone makes you want to hear it to see what it's all about, like "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini," the title is a killer. And Michael Arafeh made a really great recording with a perfect vocal by Kellyann Chester-Ouellette. I'd love to hear Natalie Maines sing this, with The Dixie Chicks or solo, it's custom made for her, like "Take Your Eyes Off My Mama Mister!" from Volume 1. This song is a perfect example of a country-pop crossover song that I think will appeal to listeners of both genres.

lyrics

You're Not A One Glance Turn Around See You Later Kind Of Guy
(Bill Naughton, Jr.)
c 2015 Biliolga Music (ASCAP)

I've never experienced love at first sight,
I thought it was only for kids,
Now suddenly this is no regular night,
I'm surprised that I'm feeling like this...

There are so many people you can't meet them all,
But the one in a million stands out,
As soon as I saw you I started to fall,
Now my heart is on fire and my head's in the clouds...

-chorus-
You're not a one glance turn around see you later kind of guy,
I knew that you were special when I saw that sparkle in your eye,
The way you stood there smiling, I just could not walk on by,
You're not a one glance turn around see you later kind of guy...

You caught my reaction when I saw your face,
And your eyes followed me to the bar,
You seem to know everyone's name in this place,
So you must think I know who you are...

But I swear that I've never seen you here before,
A split second was all that it took,
And I knew right away that I had to see more,
So I'm on my way back for a much closer look...

-repeat chorus-

-bridge-
This isn't something that I would ordinarily do,
But a little voice is telling me that I'll regret it big time
If I don't go introduce myself to you...

-guitar solo-
-repeat chorus-
