Well, this would never be a "Doug" song, but given the parameters of the assignment, I'm OK with it. I'd probably write a bridge and give the lyrics a couple more drafts if I had any use for it.
lyrics
you seem like a good time
my kind of sin
if you got a little time, I think I’ll
take you for a spin
I see them bright lights
and the music so loud
but every time I look
it seems I’ve lost you in the crowd
hey, where’d you go?
let’s walk the midway
love that harvest moon
you, in that cotton candy dress
I could eat you with a spoon
wait, where you going?
you got something on the side
but you'll meet me by the bandstand
and take me for a ride
you gonna show?
thought you were mine, but here’s the big surprise
them boys are always lurking in the corners of your eyes
they’re all lined up, like they're feedin’ at the trough
stop this love, I think I wanna get off
so find yourself a new game
something to do
that wheel it keeps on turning
til it brings me someone new
it’s not the first time
somebody took me for a ride
you can knock here all you want
but this car is occupied
I don’t need ya
thought you were mine, but here’s the big surprise
them boys are always lurking in the corners of your eyes
they’re all lined up, like they're feedin’ at the trough
stop this love, I think I wanna get off
