Hi! My name is Sandra. I am one of the sly foxes.
          Title: You Ought to Know By Now
First Impression: Why is this not a chart-topping country hit? Yes, this describes far too many strong and silent, reticent, word-stingy males. I like the repetitive chorus which sums up the man's stance on talking. I'm laughing at his determination of what will be in his world. "And silent is the way it's gonna be." He's drawn a line in the sand and that's it, no compromises. My way, or the highway.
What needs your attention: Nothing. I cannot offer anything to prettify or improve your so-accurate song. I'm humming it now even though it has no specific tune...yet.
What part I liked best: Everything! The entire song is fantastic. "If I'd wanted you to know I'd have told you." This man's words are precious and not to be spewed helter-skelter. This gives new meaning to keeping it close to the vest. I like that that particular line is repeated and then reinforced with more thoughts. It's an ultimatum dressed up nice and neat. The third verse says so much. Your rhyming is impressive, kudos. Then again, some women do ask many questions ad nauseum a la " runnin' this into the ground." Questions kept in a head are difficult to restrain, aren't they? Is it really prying? I suppose some see it that way.
Overall Impression: I'll reiterate my earlier comment/praise. This could be an award-winning country song. It just needs a melody. So many married couples could relate to your lyrics.
Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It's been my pleasure.
What does the fox say??? Listen carefully. (1756 characters)
