Rob Cheng’s Blog

I really can’t describe how I write a song. It is the exact opposite of writing a blog or writing a computer program. In the latter case, you sit down with an intention in mind. With song writing, I try to make my mind as blank as possible. Think about nothing. Strum a few chords, and see what it makes you feel. Not what you want to feel, what you really feel. Sometimes, something happens, and many times not.

I wrote this song after I wrote “Cry Myself to Sleep”. Like I said before, I wasn’t trying to write this song. It just happened. It is a very very simple song with a basic beat and only two chords. But now that Tom has taken hold of it, it has really come together. I really like the guitar licks.

E                        A      E
Dried up tears hide your pretty eyes 

E                        A         E
you're feeling something you can't disguise

E                           A     E
You don't love him, but you can't let go 

E                        A     E
All these feelings we'll never know

Girl, you're just a mystery 

E               A        E
Cause you never come cry to me 

E                A    E
The coolest lady I'll ever see 

Who you are is bottled inside
Just because you can't decide
Girl, you got to give it up
All you got is tough enough 

Girl, you're just a mystery
Cause you never come cry to me
The coolest lady i'll ever see 

Honey,you know i love you so
But it's almost time to let you go
Open up your heart and let me in
That's when our life begins 

Girl, you're just a mystery
Cause you never come cry to me
The coolest lady I'll ever see
