about

As I was writing this song, I thought "I'll never tell who I wrote this about". But I don't mind saying it now. I wrote it about my favorite actress Paulette Goddard. For those of you saying "Who?", she was married to Charlie Chaplin and co-starred in his films Modern Times & The Great Dictator. She's gorgeous, charming, witty, and sassy. What more could you ask for? I could literally go line by line and tell you what each is about. But much like Paulette herself, I'll leave the details of this song a mystery (including the title!)

lyrics

She always speaks her mind and always knows the truth
She doesn't care that her approach is so uncouth
She always seems to know which way the world will spin
And she's so confident that she will always win
And she can read my mind and loves to play her games
But she doesn't seem to care to remember your name

She moves so free and clear, just like an acrobat
She doesn't give a damn where you think her mind is at
She takes it slowly but suddenly she's fast
By the time your mind's made up, she's left you in the past
And she can do things that you would never dream of
And all the while you hope to God that this ain't love

She stays a week or two and says that you'll be blue
You'll be blue… You'll be blue…
And you can try your best to make her your wife
She'll leave you wondering the rest of your life

You'll never see her cry or hear her laugh too loud
She's always in command alone or in a crowd
She'll catch you watching her and with a little smile
She'll pick your heart right up and she'll throw it a mile
And she can move mountains but she rarely has the need
But she can stand right up upon her own two feet
