Debbie Hennessey: Music

Dare Me

(Debbie Hennessey)
written by Debbie Hennessey, Richard Wold, Stan Webb & Renee Carly

While in Nashville in Sept 2007 I had the incredible honor of writing with Richard Wold and Stan Webb. Working with them was like taking a master class in songwriting. Plus they are funny as hell! My friend Renee Carly joined in the session and here's a demo of what we came up with. Also, a big thanks to Jeff Marshall for putting together the demo. I hope you like it! dh

Dare Me

I was livin’, but not alive

I was driften, on a lower than a low tide

And then it hit me from right out of your baby blues

I’m not afraid boy to get a lot closer to you


chorus: Dare me, dare me

Strike the match, I’ll jump the fire

Dare me, dare me

To take a love leap in your heart

String the bow, I’ll shoot the stars

You got me thinkin’, do you want to take a chance

Do something about it, or just stay here and dance

I’m more than ready if you feel it too

Trust me baby I’ll take you over the moon


chorus: Dare me, dare me

Strike the match, I’ll jump the fire

Dare me, dare me

To take a love leap in your heart

String the bow, I’ll shoot the stars

bridge: I don’t mind standin’ on the edge if I’m with you

I don’t mind fallin’, fallin’, fallin’, if you’re fallin’, fallin’ too


chorus: Dare me, dare me

Strike the match, I’ll jump the fire

Dare me, dare me

To take a love leap in your heart

String the bow, I’ll shoot the stars
