She had me at Hello

Verse

 I thought I‘d always be single.

In fact I’d made up my mind.

 I’d live my life flying solo.

That love was a waste of time.

Pre chorus

One look in her eyes I realized

I was in for a ride.

Emotion collided with logic

The moment she said hi.

Chorus

Lo and behold, lo and behold

She had me at hello.

Verse

One smile and music was playing.

I knew I was good as done.

I’d found myself a copilot.

So ended my solo run.

Pre chorus

One look in her eyes I realized

I was in for a ride.

Emotion collided with logic

The moment she said hi.

Chorus

Lo and behold, lo and behold

She had me at hello.

Bridge

These days I have a copilot

No more flying alone.

No more, no more flying solo.

Verse

 I thought I‘d always be single.

In fact I’d made up my mind.

 I’d live my life flying solo.

That love was a waste of time.

Pre chorus

One look in her eyes I realized

I was in for a ride.

Emotion collided with logic

The moment she said hi.

Chorus

Lo and behold, lo and behold

She had me at hello.

Hello Carroll, Nice write, just a thought, to make this lyric more personable, instead of "she", replace " she" with you and your.  Good luck and best wishes,

Speak soon

Verse

 I thought I‘d forever be single.

In fact I’d made up my mind.

 I’d live my life flying solo.

That love was a waste of time.

 

Pre chorus

One look in your eyes I realized

I was in for a ride.

Then feelings took over I lost composure

The moment you said hi.

 

oh you had me from the get go

what was I to do
now there's more than 1 echo  

all because of you

or 

oh you had me from the get go

what was I to do
now I'm one lucky fellow

all because of you

Hi Carroll,
if you don't mind, I'd like to give this one a try. Could you try to give me a better bridge that consists of 4 lines. The current 3-line bridge repeats a lot of words you already used in the verse lines. Thanks!

All the best
Robert

Hi Carroll,
here's a first draft of how I "heard" your lyric. Let me know what you think. Suggestions, ideas, critique are always welcome.

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO

Verse

I thought I’d always be single

In fact I’d made up my mind

I’d live my life flying solo

'Cause love was a waste of time

 

Pre chorus

One look in your eyes I realized

I was in for a ride

Emotion clashed with logic

The moment you said hi

 

Chorus

Lo and behold

You had me at hello

Lo and behold

You had me at hello

 

Verse

One smile and music was playing

I knew I was good as done

I’d found myself a copilot

To end my solo run

 

Pre chorus

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

No more lonely, no more sad

No more empty home

No more love em and leave em

Since you said hello

Rob didn't even see your suggestion and the only small changes were Ron's suggestions. Please explain why you feel you need to be credited as a co write.

Ok no hard feelings. I'm fine with Co writes where both contribute significantly.
