about

Serene: "If a song was inspired by The Impressions or The Temptations it was generally credited to The Discretions. If it was the Four Tops or The O'Jays, it would be The Gladhanders. For diversity's sake, nothing of The Gladhanders is represented on this comp and any missing Discretions songs wound their way onto Serene Dominic albums later on, for some reason" This song was later recorded by San Jacinto Prison Band and sung by Sheridan Wood on the Dark Lullaby Cast album."


Original Hype Notes:

"The latest slice of Sunnyslope Soul, created especially by Onus Records for you, gentle lover.. bringing you Sunnyslope vocal group The Discretions, Hymie, Fred and Jay. Make them famous and we will tell you their last names and who their pastor is."

Why I Don't Deserve You
written by Serene Dominic

You took me in when I was nobody
And I'd lost everything I had
You only took from me what I could give you
And whatever good you had that's what you shared

You saw in me what I couldn't see in myself
And you built me back up from scratch
And when I was crying over someone else
You loved me with no strings attached

And that is why I don't deserve you
But I'm glad you thought you ought to stay with me
Oh I know I don't deserve you
You're the best that it's ever been for me
You're the best that it's ever been for me

I know I'm guilty of breaking my own heart
But you made every tear of mine your own
You knew just when to be understanding
And when I had to stand alone

When I was drowning in a sea of heartbreak
You were the tide that lifted me
And when the world started to turn my way again
You were ready to set, set me free

And that is why I don't deserve you
But I'm glad you thought you ought to stay with me
Oh I know I don't deserve you
You're the best that it's ever been for me
You're the best that it's ever been for me
