Hey, this is a draft at the moment, need more inspiration to finish and tweak it. But it seems good for a rough copy. Have a look, review, love,hate or even eat a sandwich.

Some days, I feel so, that I don’t know
What to do
And sometimes, I like to…
Give up, on situations
And I’m not , good on complications
And I wont, say my obligations


[instrumental]


But, then, I met a girl
Jewel eyes, great smile
Oh~ makes my mind~ (swirl)
Need to find, the time to see her
Make a song, give a number
Sweep her off her feet


Then, I see her in my arms (o ooh ho)
Use my looks, use my charms
Get the girl with the words I got
And this is what ah say:


Chorus
Gimme what I want
What I love-
And that be you
It couldn’t be so true
That I’m, in love~ with you-


But what’s a guy , suppose to do
I'm not sincere, to buy a gift
I think ill sing, that I love you
And I’ll be ya lift, to heaven
Cause your, the best thing to happen
In my life, full of strife
And make it, seem so bright
That I'm feeling right
But nice


Chorus

And that be you Try re-wording this. It doesn't exactly flow well.
It couldn’t be so true
That I’m, in love~ with you-

I'm not sincere, to buy a gift
I think I'll sing, that I love you

That was a really sweet love song. Some parts need work and I think you used some commas where they don't really need to be. I went by what I knew was spelled right and saw nothing wrong with your spelling. I hope you write more stuff sometime!

Hello there, Jake.

First off, I'd like to commend you for your formatting. It is easy to read, and the chorus and verses are clearly separated. This is much appreciated. The centering, however, makes this a bit difficult to read.

That said, you had a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes, such as this one:

Sweep her off her feet

Lyrics follow the same spelling and grammar conventions as regular prose. If they didn't, they wouldn't be understandable. Now, while I can see why you may have put some extra commas in here and there to show the ends of melodic phrases, your reviewers do not have the benefit of seeing the sheet music nor listening to the song, so such extra punctuation reads as a bit superfluous. I suggest just punctuating your lyrics according to convention; it will make your lyrics easier to read.

Grammar and spelling aside, what you have so far flows well, and I can definitely see this being sung. In that regards, you did a good job.

Good luck with finishing.
