Story Behind The Song
Just some "female attitude" about men my age liking younger womem rather than someone more their own age. Hey, men have pot bellies, grey hair, and wrinkles just like women do!
Song Description
Obliviously, this song will need a mature voice to carry it off. I work with some male judges who have listened to the demo of this song and they still ask me about it and laugh their heads off! It's a winner and I'ld be willling to co-write with someone

Lyrics
I'm Not Dead Yet
Written by: Lisa Courtney, BMI Sonwriter
Copyright: Sept. 2005
I met a man at a bar the other night
He said, "you may be a little old for me."
I threw back my head and laughed
You've got to be kidding right.
Chorus:
I may not be as fresh and pretty
As some young thing in her twenties
But, I'm not dead, yet.
He finally asked me for a dance
And I was looking for some romance
So, when he asked me for a date
I said, "How about eight."
Chorus:
I may not be as fresh and pretty
As some young thing in her twenties
But I'm not dead yet.
We laughed and talked half the night
We both agreed we had a good time
And then he said I'm glad you didn't take offense
About what I said about your age...
Bridge:
I said, "It doesn't matter anyway
I'm Ms. Personality
Ms. Congeniality
And If you could read my mind
You would realize
I'M Not Dead Yet...!
