Leave Your Mind At The Door

[Donna D]

A change from rock.   Thought you might get a kick out of this one.  
(If I were re-doing the lyric, I'd make it shorter.)

Leave Your Mind at the Door

(v1)
Your PhD in astrophysics
Makes the universe your oyster
But women are a mystery
It's like you grew up in a cloister
Your hero is Pythagoras
That mathematical Greek
And scholars cluster round
To listen when you speak

Pre-chorus
You're as bright as Einstein
Write like Marcel Proust
But your silhouette in jeans
Inspires me the most

Chorus
Conversation's such a bore
It takes up too much time
I've got something else in store
So when I ask you round to dine
Bring your body and French wine
But leave your mind at the door

(v2)
Well I can take or leave Camus
Much too existential
If I'm here alone with you
I'd rather get down to essentials
Put physical back into physics
Turn astro back into stars
They'll explode on impact
When my Venus meets your Mars

Pre-chorus
You're as bright as Einstein
Write like Marcel Proust
But your silhouette in jeans
Inspires me the most

Chorus
Conversation's such a bore
It takes up too much time
I've got something else in store
So when I ask you round to dine
Bring your body and French wine
But leave your mind at the door

Pre-chorus
You're as bright as Einstein
Write like Marcel Proust
But your silhouette in jeans
Inspires me the most

Chorus
Conversation's such a bore
This girl wants something more
Here's a thought you can't ignore
Kiss me
Bring your body and French wine
But leave your mind at the door

Just when I thought you couldn't possible write better lyics than before. You knocked this one out of the park. Witty, naughty and funny. What a gem. You rock girl. And the music is yummy. To the I-Pod.  Thanks Donna

Sent it to my math geek friends. Hilarious!

Hi Donna, silky vocals is about right and I'm rapidly becoming a DD lyric addict. Wonderfully played by all. Top notch...........Willie

Who are these mysterious, shadowy figures that write songs and melodies to your lyrics, Donna? Why don't they wanna be fully fledged SongCrafters members? Where do these enigma's record their songs? Do they have access to fully equipped recording studios or do they just have more money than sense?
  Don't get me wrong, it's all good. Just a bit too good for simply posting here and there. Is this stuff for sale? Do you/the 'band' have/want a recording contract or is it just for fun?
