Leopardskin

[prsings]

This is a song I wrote back in the early 90's, a young man in Ohio was listening to me and said he thought it would be a good title. It rolled around in my head for a long time, and then it kinda fell out when I was real drunk at a friend's birthday party. A few re-writes and here it is. Leopard in Ladyskin.

Here are the lyrics:

LEOPARD IN LADYSKIN             

MY FRIEND ASKED ME WHO WAS THAT LADY I SAW YOU WITH THE OTHER NIGHT
YOU KNOW THE ONE WITH THE LEOPARDSKIN PANTS THAT FIT HER OO-OOO-OO  JUST RIGHT
I SAID LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN
SHE WAS NO LADY AT ALL SHE WAS A LEOPARD IN LADY SKIN.


I WAS NEW THERE IN HER JUNGLE SHE FOOLED ME FROM THE START
LET DOWN MY GUARD AND SHE HIT ME HARD SHE WENT STRAIGHT FOR MY HEART
SHE TOOK ME BY SURPRISE  I FELL INTO THOSE EYES
I DIDN'T REALIZE SHE WAS A LEOPARD IN LADY SKIN

Bridge

THIS STORY THAT I'M TELLIN' YOU MUST SOUND LIKE I’M INSANE
BUT A WOMAN'S MIND AND THE SPOTS ON A LEOPARD
ARE TWO THINGS YOU JUST CAN'T CHANGE
I TOOK HER OUT AND SHE TOOK ME IN
IT WAS A NIGHT OF LUST AND SIN
LOST IN THE ARMS OF A LEOPARD IN LADY SKIN


OOH THE WAY SHE PURRED MY NAME I COULD HARDLY STAND
AND WHEN SHE SCRATCHED MY BACK I FELT LIKE A LION OF A MAN
SHE SUNK HER CAT CLAWS IN  I FELT 'EM UNDER MY SKIN
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A LEOPARD IN LADYSKIN

FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A LEOPARD IN LADYSKIN

You have a style of singing and a voice that I like a lot, it a bit in the same style of Luke Walter Jr. of the (ex) belgium group 'Blue Blot' : http://houbi.com/belpop/groups/blueblot.htm

Got to agree here. Very nicely presented. I like the style overall and especially the pauses. They give the song lots of space.
