Red

Here’s that fairy tale rock song that I wrote a couple weeks ago, even though I don’t think I’ll ever be able to use it. My voice has no natural roughness. Also, I can’t do sexy to save my life.

I recently introduced myself to Halestorm and Lzzy Hale’s amazing voice, and I guess I was inspired. So just imagine her singing it instead. If I were ever to use this song, I’d have to strip it down a lot.

RED

If you think I’m a pretty young thing

You don’t know what I’ve seen

You know what I mean

Look at my red leather, supple and lean,

Time for me to come clean

You know what I mean

Chorus:

I’m not a good girl

I’m a girl who’s gone bad

The baddest you’ve had

A little bit mad

And though I’m here walking

Alone in the woods

You’d escape if you could

From the pretty sharp teeth of

Red Riding Hood

I used to be innocent, proper and sweet

Not a girl on the street

You don’t want to meet

But a good girl knows just when she’s been beat

I need something to eat

And you’re my kind of meat.

Chorus

Look at me

Dressed in the skin

Of the wolf that I’m in

Can’t you see

You don’t know where I’ve been

But if you let me in…

[Spoken] What big eyes you have…

Don’t go away

Come in and play

If you come this way

I’ll put this knife away

And let you blow me away…

[Spoken] Why, sir, what stunning skin you have.

It would be a shame to waste it on a wolf like you.

Can you see now what little girls can do?

Chorus
