Hey Darlin'

hey, hey darlin'

the wind from Santa Ana

is blowing through my ears

and messin' with my mind

-

hey, hey darlin'

it moves that dress you're wearin'

and wild shining hair

it looks like you're still tryin'

-

(refrain) hey, hey darlin' / do you wonder i'm confused?

today you're all seduction / Last night i was feelin' used

-

hey, hey darlin'

those boots might be walkin'

but they looks so good

underneath my bed

-

hey, hey darlin'

to stay don't mean a long time

i feel like i've done mine

here inside my head

-

(refrain)

-

hey, hey darlin'

the wind from Santa Ana

is blowing you away

right out of my mind

-

hey, hey darlin'

that dress you're wearin'

looks better from the back

and you're not even tryin'

-

(refrain)

-

ooh that was fun. to write something that is transparently a rip-off is very freeing.

"Hey Baby" is Fred's forlorn, sexy account of the end of love. i built the whole feel of my song by stealing his line "that dress you're wearin".

-

once again, i chose to change it mostly with the male character, while still lost because of love, at least realizing he is better off out of it.

-

it feels like something i will love to sing. once i learn it.
