Story Behind The Song

Built from the bass riff and title. Leaves lots of room for guitar solos on this one, powered by the Les Paul exploring a number of scales, particularly the Dorian and Pentatonic.

Song Description

Lead guitar riffs galore in this power groove based vocal. Jumping into a relationship can be dangerous if you don't test the waters first.

Lyrics

"Look Before You Leap"
Do you see what you like now darlin'?
Do you like what you see?
Don't judge a book by it's cover
You say, "It makes no difference to me"
So you jump right in a relationship
Now you're flyin' head right over heels
Play it safe or you're sorry
Sometimes you might not like how it feels

Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, you better look before you leap!

You're in way over you're head now darlin'
Time for you to sink or you swim
Come hold tight to your life preserver
I told you love's more than a whim
You're finding out in a hurry girl
What I've been trying to get you to learn
Patience is such a timely virtue
And here it is your turn

Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, you better look before you leap!
Come on take a look, take a look now baby

Well you've had some time to see that things
Aren't always as they appear
Through all your chance and wrong romance
I've always been right here
So do you see what you like now darlin'?
Do you like what you see?
Come hold tight to your life preserver
Make the leap with me

Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, you better look before you leap!

Before you leap, look before you leap
Look, before you leap, look before you leap
Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, dive in now if the water is deep
Come on girl, you better look before you leap!
