Story Behind The Song
I had a lot of fun writing this song. I had this exaggerated idea of an older guy trying to romance his lady while she's reading in bed. He's trying to put his not-so-suave moves on her, and she's not buying into it at all.
Song Description
This is one of my more story, tounge-in-cheek songs, The song deals with a man and his girlfriend. After repeated attempts to give his woman a little romance, he fails to get any sexual relations whatsoever.

Lyrics
Adrienne (words and music by Ricky Drake)
Copyright 2006
V1
I would insist you declare
Now tell me what to do
You?d shake your head. Do your work.
Now what am I to do
Oh Adrienne, the song that I put on
I thought you would like
Oh Adrienne, it?s closing on a week.
It?s almost midnight
V2
You would resist my attempt
To push down on your head
I am sorry since I keep
Glancing towards the bed
Oh Adrienne, I have scrubbed down your place
And drawn you a bath.
Oh Adrienne, it?s been around two months
And I took out the trash
Ch
Why would you yawn when I?d come into the bedroom
Or say you have a headache when I?m ready to?
What have I done that has upset or angered you
Please tell me Adrienne
V3
I do insist you declare
Now tell me what to do
Your shakin? toy is to blame
Now what am I to do
Oh Adrienne, the candy and flowers
I thought you would like
Oh Adrienne, I?m dying at six months
So dissatisfied
Solo
Final Ch
Why would you run when I?d come into the room
Or say you have a headache when I?m ready to?
What have I done that upset or angered you
Please tell me Adrienne
Please tell me Adrienne
Please tell me Adrienne
