about

Caro Mio Ben is one of the first pieces I learned when I went to music school. It is the second of the pieces on this CD in which I delve into those roots. I particularly enjoyed playing with the underlying harmony and contrasting my goody-two-shoes vocals with Billy's rap (something he wrote in about 15 minutes while BZ and I were recording the back up vocals.). We had SO much fun!

lyrics

Pick it up and call me, call me
Girlfriend won't you check this out
Word up, straight shot, no room for doubt
Maybe you don't know when I'm hanging with my boys
All I really want to is to hear your voice
Pick it up and call me, call me

I ain't playing, believe me when I'm saying
I'm waiting for your phone call day-out and day-in
I'm looking at my watch…tick-tock
Even though you're far away I know you're scoping out the clock
Pick it up and call me, call me

You're sitting in a meeting, your heart is beating
Like a busted radiator overflowing, overheating
Run to your hotel pick up the phone
Call that number that will bring you home
Just call me, call me

Girl I get so shook up every time we hook up
And we talk about the love that soon we're going to cook up
And when I hear your laughter I swing from the rafters
"Cause I know we're going to live happily ever after
