What do you think? Justifiable return?

Hey Claire, Anne, and Juliet!Thank you all for responding. First one: Claire, we spoke today, so you know I was venting a bit, and thank goodness it was a target issue, not standards.Anne, I appreciate your help, and when I REALLY feel like I get an unfair return, I will get with you. I have listened to who they referred to, and thought it was an appropriate style, but as Claire mentioned, that if they are not married themselves.. perhaps they would not sing it.Juliet: SO I missed this time, but I believe this song will find a home, and will find it's way on the air. It is a fun tune, and I believe in the hook. Many thanks for your input all!!

Hi! So great song, but my only teensy tiny observation that maybe no one has even mentioned and means it's not really an issue is: I wish you'd have put your title/hook line at the beginning of the chorus, too. It just seems, to me, like it takes a long time to get to the "punch line", and then the only time you mention the title is the last line of every chorus. Just a thought...
