The Reward 03:10
The boy of my dreams, He came up to me On a clear afternoon in the Springtime. When I met him downtown, I was wearing a frown, Which turned upside-down When our eyes locked. He said, "Pretty Baby, How do you do? I'd like to spend some time And get to know you. And if you be a good girl, maybe, You'll find a reward is in store for you." We courted and crushed, with our heads full of lust. But we kept our passions at bay. He gave me respect And a good intellect. A true gentleman to me night and day. I kissed all my lovers goodbye and made way For you and you alone to hold my hand and stay. Oh, I've been a good girl, baby. So where's the reward that you promised me? I kissed all my lovers goodbye and made way For you and you alone to hold my heart and stay. Oh, I've been a good girl, baby. So where's the reward that you promised me? Oh, I've been a good girl, baby. So where is the love that you promised me?

Baby Mine, you know I love you. And I'm always thinking of you. But I can't seem to find a way to describe What it is that you do to me. Pretty Darlin', you know that I need you. Won't you stay right by my side? I beg and I plead you. But not a single thing I say Can do any justice to the way That you look at me. 'Cause every song has been sung, And every rhyme has been wrung A Thousand times before. Though there is nothing left to say I'll keep on trying anyway To Give You My Love. Tried to paint you a picture, But it came out all wrong. Tried to write you a letter, But I just rambled along. Tried to cook you a roast, But I burnt it to hell. Tried to tattoo your name, But it came out misspelled. Guess every song has been sung, Every rhyme has been wrung A thousand times before. There may be nothin left to say, But I'll keep on tryin' everyday To Give You My Love.

I never thought anyone could love me The way you love me. I never thought anyone could kiss me And drink my beauty And while every ounce gives you nourishment, Your strength gives me encouragement. A symbiotic relationship Where we both win and reap the benefits. I love to make things grow with you. I want to grow my life with you. You proved to me what love can do. You're making all my dreams come true. The love that you give me is tender, Yet indestructible. You made me believe that with your love, Anything is possible! There is no shortage, There is no lack. Now my faith is right back on track. You changed my life in so many ways. Unlimited joy fills up all our days. I love to make things grow with you. I want to grow my life with you. You proved to me what love can do. You're making all my dreams come true. You keep me ageless, You leave me breathless, You make me fearless, Our love is deathless. You keep me ageless, You leave me breathless, You make me fearless, Our love is... I love to make things grow with you.

Safe With Me 03:41
When we're alone At home And it's just you & me, Nothing can harm us, Shake or alarm us, And the world's at peace. 'Long as we stay Still and calm. And we tread on common ground. You can hear it If you listen. How sweet the silent sound. Just hold me tight All through the night Tangle your limbs around me. Just rest your head On my breast And softly sleep. No need to worry, The day is ended. And the sun has gone to bed. But our lovelight burns eternal Even when we both are dead. Just hold me tight All through the night Tangle your limbs around me. Just rest your head On my breast And softly sleep. You're safe with me. You're safe with me. You're safe with me.

Love strengthens as it matures, Crystallizes into a diamond. A bond so unbreakable and sure. Our reward for having put the time in. I'm so glad you let me have Every waking moment, Every walking dream with you. Lucky me, I get to be Always by your side, Morning, noon, and night with you. You are my dream come true. Remember when the memories we had were few? We were learning and loving just to be together. Back in the days when we were so brand new. Even early, we knew that we were so forever. I'm so glad you let me have Every waking moment, Every walking dream with you. Lucky me, I get to be Always by your side, Morning, noon, and night with you. You are my dream come true. I was unhappy before you met me. Dark clouds shadowed my view. Until you found me, saved me, unbound me. Painted my world a brighter hue. I'm so glad you let me have Every waking moment, Every walking dream with you. Lucky me, I get to be Always by your side, Morning, noon, and night with you. You are my dream come true.

Don't Doubt 04:12
There comes a time In every love When you don't know What you can trust. Things have been good. Too good to be true. So naturally, you gotta find a reason To fuss. But Baby, Don't Doubt My fidelity Devoted to you is all I am And all I ever will be. Have faith in me. Put trust in my love. And you will receive Only if you can believe. I know it's hard To surrender control To a bargain with no guarantees, You wage you heart and your soul. But Sugar, remember: I've sacrificed, too. I turned my whole life upside-down Just to make time to love you. So Baby, Don't Doubt My fidelity Devoted to you is all I am And all I ever will be. Have faith in me. Put trust in my love. And you will receive Only if you can believe. We have a love Like no other in the world. You always said our love was enchanted. So don't you forget The luck we've been handed. This kind of treasure should never ever Be taken for granted! So Baby, Don't Doubt My fidelity Devoted to you is all I am And all I ever will be. Have faith in me. Put trust in my love. And you will receive Only if you can believe. So come on, receive. Baby, believe. Oh, just don't leave. Baby, believe. We can achieve only if we believe.

about

Brittney Westover's debut EP. Brittney Westover is a Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter whose songs retain the nostalgic quality of soulful vintage pop. Her music combines the classic familiarity of Brill Building songwriters of the 1960’s with a modern approach that feels fresh, original, and authentic. Fans describe her as “the millennial Carole King” and her shimmery soprano vocal timbre as “Jenny Lewis meets Regina Spektor.”
