| Lyrics: | I aint losin my hope I aint losin my faith Cause I’m gonna get up baby And fight through this pain I wanna tell you So do you mind? I just found out You’ve been cheatin’ on me You’re gonna get your own in sweet time Gonna make you see I wanna show you Do you mind? I’ll say I’m gonna break these chains I’ll say I'm like a loaded gun Goin bang bang bang So do you mind? Do you mind? You called me crazy When I followed my heart Now can’t you see baby That you tore us apart? And I wanna show you Do you mind? I need to make you see baby I can put up a fight I won’t control you Just need to make it right I wouldn’t tell a lie So do you mind? Gonna make you see That I gotta be free And I’m gonna say I'm like a loaded gun Goin bang bang bang So do you mind? Written by Dave Tough & Jesse Stern |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
