Secret Identity:

One of my life goals is to write a hit song about a heavily licensed character, make enough money to put my kids through college and not get sued.

This song was my first attempt:

I don't want you to apologize
For the way you look tonight
Your hair's a mess and you tore your dress
Like you just came from a fight

Bracelets are glowing
Muscles are showing
Boots say you're ready to go
Glasses can't hide
The wonder inside
And there's so much that I'd like to know...

This is the first song I wrote with chords strung together, one after another, with the goal of increased musicality. At first I thought it was a mistake because I wasn't sure I could get my hands into position fast enough. But this was the music I was hearing in my head, so I stuck with it and I hope listeners like it.

Appreciate the gift, but how did you lift
The piano into my apartment
Willing to bet that you don't break a sweat
Benching my whole set of weights

Bracelets are glowing
Muscles are showing
Boots say you're ready to go
Glasses can't hide
The woman inside

And there's so much that I'd like to know...

OK, so that's enough hints.

I think I've guessed your... secret identity.
