erika plays "I Won't Give You the Satisfaction (The Paralepsis Song)" an *original* song

*Lyrics below*
So my ability to procrastinate has reached epic proportions. I wrote this silly little song pretty quickly--so please forgive the bad rhymes. And be sure to stick around for the explanation of "paralepsis" at the end of the song!

I would write a song for you
But I won't give you the satisfaction
Of hearing me sing a list
Of all the things that add to your attractions
No no no I won't give you the satisfaction (x2)
No no, whoa whoa (x2)

And I will never say
That I care what you're thinking
Or that I want to call you up
Whenever I have been drinking
(chorus)

And I'll never ever tell you
That when you are beside me
I find it hard to swallow
And I feel kind of queasy
And I'll never ever tell you
That when we kissed
I went all electric from my toes to my fingertips
No, I won't give you the satisfaction
(chorus)

And I won't tell you how
I wait each day to see your face
Or how a glance from you
Makes my heart pick up its pace
(chorus x2)

Very cool song, and I learned something again! Lovely singing too.

[helveticaukes]

Thank you! I guess it shows that I enjoy teaching.:)

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

I Won't Give You the Satisfaction is a 5/5 *****

[helveticaukes]

Thank you!

[ukeyermind]

Loved it! Ear candy for sure!

I was gonna do that thing where you say something by saying you're not going to say it, but I can't remember what that's called. My brain's lost movement. I may be paralepsyzed.

[helveticaukes]

Thanks!!!

And I knew there was a reason I loved the YouTube ukulele community...and now I realize why--you guys are awesomely funny and cool!

[helveticaukes]

It's OK--I still laughed! Thanks!

I'm not even going to bother telling you how much I like this song. (I thought I was clever then I read the comments below, and found that others are much more clever than I am) Im not going to say how disappointed that made me.

[helveticaukes]

I'm glad you were amused and that I enabled your procrastination--thanks for the lovely comment. I also hate the end of school terms (clearly), but we'll muddle through!

I found that very amusing. And I got to procrastinate while watching your video.

I hate the end of the quarter. Wibble.

Great song! <3
