about

This song tells the true story of a person, recently single after the fiery break up of a long term relationship, daring to try dating again only to have their first dip in the dating pools of single hood blow up in their face. We've all been there- men and women- and we all know what it's like to fall for a charmer only to find that their first love is alcohol or pills or some other addiction. Sing along and sing out the frustration of saying yes to someone only to find you wish you had said no. Written, sung and produced by #1 Top 40 Radio artist Meg Berry, this song features Brian Gottesman (Chucklehead) on acoustic guitar, Matt Beck (Rob Thomas, Matchbox 20) on electric guitar, Lee Nadel (Sara Bareilles, Lana del Rey) and John O'Reilly (Jimmy Eat World) on drums. Mixed and mastered by multi-Grammy winner Marc Urselli (U2, Lucinda Williams) at East Side Sound, enjoy Built to Lose now and see why it is racing up 9 radio charts across AC/Hot, Country and Top 40.

lyrics

You stumbled in to my mess
Made me feel like the purdiest yet
So I invited you back to my house
You looked around and promptly passed out

Oh what's a girl to do
With a man whose given to booze
Hey what's a gal to say
Bout his smile if he's fallen away

Cause you you you
You made me feel something
New new new
Something deeper than my regular blues

Now you're drooling on my new kitchen floor
Rumbling louder than my '06 RAV4
So I dragged you up on to my couch
You laughed and passed right back out

Oh what's a girl to do
With a man who can't help but snooze
Hey what's this gal to say
Face to face, if he's snoring away

Cause you you you
You made me feel something
New new new
Something deeper than my regular blues

Oh blues

Yeah!

When you tumbled in to my home
I was used to living solo
Now you're up and grabbed my remote
I can't decide if you can stay or should go

Oh what am I gonna do
If this man is built to lose
Hey what am i gonna say
To his back if he's walking away

Cause you you you
You made me feel something
New new new
Something deeper than my regular blues

Something deeper
Oh
Something deeper than my regular
Thank my regular blues
