| Hmmmm, it could work as a 3 or 4 hander, maybe in a musical, where some 'player' is confronted by his conquests. However, I don't think it could work that way as a single release; too many egos and too many record labels. I think it works best as a 'heart-felt' solo. My point in mentioning different names is that there are a ton of female singers out there that could have a 'solo' hit with it. > Well, here's the lyric scheme I thought up.
