Percy McCoy - Fallin' In Love With A Little Blonde Lady

All of us at  Big And Tall Records give Percy McCoy credit for growing as a recording artist, and sharing aspects about himself that sometimes have not been the most flattering. Perhaps it has been a type of catharsis to aide in learning more about himself to try and explain his failures in life. Anyone who's been married 4 times and is only 42 years old has something going on, if nothing else but poor judgement. 

This latest by Percy comes right out and says, under no uncertain terms, that he's fallen in love with a little person. It remains to be seen if he really understands the difficulties he's going to have in this relationship, regardless of the feelings they may have for each other. He's already got a sample of that from his 'buddies' when they were noticed one night out, and the guys made stupid small jokes. What started out as a somewhat comical encounter with the woman through midget bowling as told in his song Somethin' To Do With My Time, has turned into a true affair of the heart...for both of them! We're happy to see that he's savvy enough to not mention her name in the song, or anything else about her outside of her size, marital status, and mutual affection. It's a strange world, and the last thing a little person needs is even more abuse heaped on them because of exposure in a  record company. No doubt she's seen a lot of abuse, upfront and behind the scenes. If he would have ,we would have insisted on is removal before release. 

It's obvious Percy moves fast. Four marriages in 20 years is not the sign of someone who moves slow and steady! But if his lyrics are honest (and he's been nothing but honest in his songs, sometimes to his possible detriment) this lady is more down to earth, and telling him they need to go slow. We wish nothing but the best for Percy and his Little Lady, and the nosy part of us hopes we hear more about their love affair!

Tried to talk ‘bout it with some buddies
 All they did was make fun of it all
 (Be a short love affair we all agree! 
That’s our opinion, the long and the small!)
 
 Everbodies a damn comedian! 
I’m serious think I am in love 
Try to talk it over with someone
 But none of ‘em never ever heerd of 
 
 Fallin’ in love with a little blonde lady 
Shore feels like it’s the real Mccoy 
They all look at me, as if I’m shady 
No, I ain’t using her for just a toy! 
 
They’re pissin’ me off, won’t here me plain
 Keep on tryin’ really gettin’ nowhere 
Some saw us together, the other night 
Met with laughin, smirkin’ and dumb stares 
 
She told me later, didn’t bother her 
Lived with so much crap all of her life
 She’s more worried ‘bout how I’m doin’ 
I blurted out “WANNA MAKE YOU MY WIFE!”
 
 Fallin’ in love with a little blonde lady 
Shore feels like it’s the real Mccoy 
They all look at me, as if I’m shady 
No, I ain’t using her for just a toy! 
 
She got real quiet, looked away from me
 I hope I hadn’t hit a sore scar 
Been on my mind, just blurted it out 
I felt like I had gone way too far 
 
She looked back at me, tears in her eyes
 Held my face and give me a big kiss 
She put her sweet little head, on my chest
 Hoped I wasn’t in the abyss
 
 Fallin’ in love with a little blonde lady 
Shore feels like it’s the real Mccoy 
They all look at me, as if I’m shady 
No, I ain’t using her for just a toy! 
 
We sat for a while, didn’t say a word 
And I felt the warmth of her sweet cheek 
Finally she sat up, looked me in the eye 
And said, “Answers gonna have to seek!” 
 
 Both of our pasts have left lots of scars 
I don’t want us to mess up what we got 
We need to slow it down, figure things out 
All I know is I sure love you a lot! 
 
So we both breathed a great big sigh 
Lots of things on both of our minds 
I have to come to terms with all the jeers 
That will come from them with puny minds 
 
What we got goin’ for us is Our love and commitment for each other. 
We go forward with that, and work it out Maybe things won’t be such a bother!
