May Songwriting Challenge- Day 4: Bad Boy, an Exercise in Repetition

After yesterday’s song came together so quickly, I was almost in a “quit while you’re ahead” mood this morning. I knew that I needed to write so I decided to give myself a little exercise; to be repetitive. Repetitiveness is one of my pet peeves. I’m not saying it can’t or shouldn’t be done, I’m just not always a fan of it. Tackling this exercise has left me hoping that it will break down my own personal barriers which may hinder song development.

V1:

A bad boy makes the good girls giggle

A bad boy makes the good girls blush

A bad boy rides in on trouble

And the good girls can’t get enough

A bad boy can make a promise

A bad boy can buy a ring

A bad boy can swear he’ll settle

Yeah a bad boy can do anything

CH:

A bad boy can make you mad as hell

A bad boy ‘s easy to leave

Am I a bad girl for wishing

You’d be a bad boy to me

V2:

A bad boy can make you jealous

A bad boy stays out all night

A bad boy will flirt with strangers

Even when you’re by his side

A bad boy can make you wonder

A bad boy leaves you unsure

A bad boy has you convinced

He wants you to be like her

CH:

A bad boy can make you mad as hell

A bad boy ‘s easy to leave

Am I a bad girl for wishing

You’d be a bad boy to me

B: 

You’re no bad boy, that’s for certain

You’re no bad boy, and it hurts

‘Cause it  can be so hard to say the

good-bye no good boy deserves

CH:

A bad boy can make you mad as hell

A bad boy ‘s easy to leave

Am I a bad girl for wishing

You’d be a bad boy to me
