about

This is a song I wrote driving through "downtown" Dixon New Mexico on my way home. The melody popped into my head and didn't leave until the song was done when I pulled in the driveway. In other words It was written very quickly and I recorded it when I got home that evening. I tried recording it later but I became too attached to the spontaneity and freshness of the original demo despite its imperfections and challenges to work with. All praises to mr Steve Mayone for dealing with my chaos. It's pretty incredible what "short dawg" Mr. Mayone can do with a compromised recording. That is some funky shit! Maybe we should call him "spice dawg?" He brought in some pretty incredible players to give this track a high class funky beautiful quality! Thanks to Jeff Hudgins
on horns, and Melissa Capezio on back up vocals!~

lyrics

Confidence

Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day
I need kisses in the evening make me feel ok
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
It's a good thing to fuss about
You know it makes me scream and shout
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
Sometimes I wake up and I feel all alone
I feel like a stranger in my own home
Don’t tell me I'm just a brat
When I tell you I feel like that
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
It's the only thing I know
that makes my heart tremble so
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
Show me what you can do
I promise that I'll show you too
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like a freak
I feel disconnected on a losing streak
Don't tell me I'm just a brat
When I tell you I feel like that
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I don't need luxury I need reassurance we're on the same journey
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day
I need skin in the evening make me feel ok
Baby I need a little confidence in our love.
