From the recording Love Has Its Price
Lyrics
I thought this was a union
Not a competition
It’s not what I thought it would be.
Any time, any place
In public, in private
You always gotta one up me
So
Ease up, let up
You won’t get no higher
Walkin’ all over me.
One up, your way,
Puts on full display
Your fragility.
Give it up, one up,
Your go to MO
At every opportunity.
One up is crackin’
Shakin’
Breakin’ our foundation.
Why do you one up me?
Gotta hand it to you
Nobody can question
Your dependability.
In all circumstances
You rise to the occasion
You never fail to one up me
So
Ease up, let up
You won’t get no higher
Walkin’ all over me.
One up, your way,
Puts on full display
Your fragility.
Give it up, one up,
Your go to MO
At every opportunity.
One up is crackin’
Shakin’
Breakin’ our foundation.
Why do you one up me?
When you eclipse others’ light
Darkness ensues
N’ overbearin’, undercuttin’,
Castin’ shadows by one-uppin’
Shines a different light on you.
So
Ease up, let up
You won’t get no higher
Walkin’ all over me.
One up, your way,
Puts on full display
Your fragility.
Give it up, one up,
Your go to MO
At every opportunity.
One up is crackin’
Shakin’
Breakin’ our foundation.
Why do you one up me?
Give it up, one up,
Your go to MO
At every opportunity.
One up is crackin’
Shakin’
Breakin’ our foundation.
Why do you one up me?
One up me?
One up me?

Track Notes
---------------------------------------
There was a certain time when a certain acquaintance was basically 'one-upping' me, and I was in no mood for it. It put me in a foul mood, so I decided to make a song about 'One upping'.
I think the song lends itself well for a female to be singing this to a male, hence the female vocals. However, it really doesn't matter who is singing it to who.
Regarding the AI, this is one where I think my original melodies are every bit as good as the AI ones. However, for now I'm staying with the AI because I don't think the tools are there with the AI I use to fully produce songs with my melodies. I'm sure it soon will be.
