Road Trip ⭐️

20 - 7 Things

It was about a month and a half since Chris and I had seen each other. He was now away filming and I was back in the recording studio. I was sitting at the soundboard humming the song to myself with my head in my hands.

"What's wrong with it Frankie?" Larry my producer asked me, and I shrugged.

"I don't know, I mean I know I said a new sound and I know I helped write it but I just don't know about it. Something isn't sitting right." I said, head still in my hands.

"Is it because it's a new sound and approach for you. You said no more sad songs, this asserts your new sound, and this song is perfect." Larry said and I just groaned.

"I mean people are going to think I haven't changed with how it starts off. I mean I'm not singing about love lost just listing things." I said trying to talk myself into it.

"What if you record it and listen to it and we make the choice." Larry said and I shook my head.

"No because I will get talked into it if that's what we do. I do have another idea though, I need an unbiased opinion." I said and then looked at Hollie, "Can I have my phone?" I asked. She handed it to me and then I walked out to the hallway for privacy.

I pulled up a facetime call and waited for her to answered.

"Frankie, this is a surprise." Lisa smiled and I returned it.

"I was actually calling to see if you could do me a favor...?" I trailed off.

"What do you need sweetie?"

"I need your honest and unbiased opinion on a song. I'm going to have Hollie, my assistant hold the phone while I record this new song and then I will get the phone back and we will talk." I said and she nodded with a smile.

"Of course sweetie, I have the phone plugged into the Bluetooth so I will hear it loud and clear." Lisa said and I smiled.

"Perfect, give me a minute." I said putting the phone to my side and walking back into the control room. I walked over to Hollie.

"I need you to not let anyone see this screen but she needs to hear the song." I said and Hollie peaked at the screen and smiled obviously noticing Lisa.

"You got it." Hollie said and I headed into the recording studio. I put my headphones on and took a few calming breaths.

"Alright, let's go." I said and the music started.

🎵 Sha, Sha, Sha
I probably shouldn't say this, but at times, I get so scared
When I think about the previous relationship we shared
It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standin' in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear
The seven things I hate about you
The seven things I hate about you, oh, you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
It's awkward and silent as I wait for you to say
But what I need to hear now, your sincere apology
When you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking seven steps here
The seven things I hate about you
You're vain, you're game, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks
When you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention the seven that I like
The seven things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine
When we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you
you do, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh🎵
