about

"Talkin' bout the girl that I adore." Prom Queen captures an emotional battle between infatuation and rumors about the object of such love. A quirky, updated old school Philly Soul tune with a catchy chorus.

lyrics

i don't know why i'm so weak when you're so high
i'll spend the night on the bed of nails she made for me there

but you don't know what i would do
if she would settle down

i'm talkin' bout the girl i'm gonna marry
i hear you talkin' bout the girl that i adore

i'm mr. right i make believe most every night
i'll stand in line, never mind that the star isn't there
well you been runnin' all around this town
somebody told me they saw you climbing his stairs
and you've been sleeping all around this town
that ain't the only thing they told me
my temper flairs

and if you don't know what's good for you
you better watch your mouth

i'm talkin' bout the girl i'm gonna marry
i hear you talkin' bout the girl that i adore
i'm talkin' bout the girl i'm gonna marry

and it ain't cool, no it ain't even cool

if you know what's good for you
you better shut your mouth

i'm talkin' bout the girl i'm gonna marry
i hear you talkin' bout the girl that i adore
you're talkin' bout the girl i'm gonna marry
i hear you talkin' bout the girl that i adore

that i adore

about

Merchants of Soul Bristol, Pennsylvania

The Merchants of Soul project comprised Jay Russell, Bob Enck, & Rod West. From 2004–2006, Jay & Rod tracked Break It Up on top of Bob's drum arrangements in the basement of a window factory in NJ.

Jay's untimely passing in 2019 prompted this revival & fresh treatment of the tunes. You can donate to Jay's children by sending checks payable to Karen Russell: P.O Box 1161, Bristol PA 19007.
