about

Wrote this song on a writer's retreat in Arizona a few years ago. On that same trip, I co-wrote "If I Run" with Leslie & Mike Harter. The youngest sibling, Scott & I wrote this song originally as a male song. The opportunity presented itself to be re-written from a female perspective and we jumped on it. So here it is...

And honestly, this song makes me smile. When love is right, it changes everything ;)

lyrics

HE MAKES ME WANT TO
(SCOTT HARTER/R. WILLIAMS)

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN STUCK IN MY OWN WAYS
I SPEND MY NIGHTS AND I LIVE MY LIFE
FOR THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF THE STAGE
THE LAST THING I EVER THOUGHT I'D DO IS CHANGE
BUT HE MAKES ME WANT TO

I'VE NEVER BEEN THE KIND TO FALL THIS HARD
BUT SUDDENLY HERE I AM FREE-FALLING
AT THE MERCY OF MY HEART
AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID TO SHOW MY SCARS
BUT HE MAKES ME WANT TO

NOW I'M SMILING, STANDING AT HIS DOOR
SURPRISING HIM, SURPRISING ME EVEN MORE
I'M DOING THINGS THESE DAYS
THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I'D DO
'CAUSE HE MAKES ME WANT TO

I'VE HEARD THAT LOVE CAN BRING THE WORLD TO LIGHT
MAKE YOU COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS
OR NOTICE A SUNRISE
AND NOW DAY & NIGHT I'M STARING AT THE SKY
'CAUSE HE MAKES ME WANT TO

NOW I'M WRITING LOVE SONGS I NEVER USED TO SING
AND I FIND MYSELF DAYDREAMING ABOUT A RING
YEAH, I'M DOING THINGS THESE DAYS
THAT I NEVER THOUGHT I'D DO
'CAUSE HE MAKES ME WANT TO

HE MAKES ME WANT TO GIVE MYSELF AWAY
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE LEAVING KIND
BUT THIS TIME I'M GLAD TO STAY

HE MAKES ME WANT TO
