Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Souer (born 29 March 1948, Eindhoven) is a Dutch record producer, songwriter and arranger. His collaboration with acts (such as Luv', Mouth & MacNeal, Liesbeth List, Ramses Shaffy, American Gypsy, and Champagne) made him gain twenty two gold and platinum records', one Conamus Export Prize and one 'Outstanding Song Award', thanks to his composition "Too Young To Know", performed by Anita Meyer at World Popular Song Festival in Japan in 1981.
Piet Souer (a guitar and keyboard player) started his career as a member of The Valiants, a rock band from Eindhoven. His breakthrough happened when he played guitar on "De troubadour", a track performed by Lenny Kuhr, winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1969. The next year, Kuhr, bassist Paul Reekers and Souer were the supporting act of Georges Brassens during his tour in France.
In the early 1970s, he scored, as a songwriter and an arranger, moderate hits such as "I'm The Grand Pretender" and "Keep On Dancing" (performed by Cardinal Point) and "Angel Eyes" (performed by American Gypsy) as well as successful chart toppers in the Netherlands including "Te Veel Te Vaak" (by Liesbeth List) and "Samen" (by Liesbeth List & Ramses Shaffy).
[V1]
See I've been patient with you for a minute
But now I'm closer to saying just forget it
Because whenever I talk about how good it's going down
You never pay me no attention
But when we talk about things that you do
I tell you how much I'm happy for you
But from this day forward I'm starting over
And boy I want you to
[Chorus]
Hear me loud and clear right now
(You gotta support me)
If you really love
(you gotta support me)
Then you'll be here for me
(Save your words and)
Ohhh save your words
(Show me how)
How much you adore me
Cause love isn't one way
You know it
You gotta show me
Boy you can't be playing (me up x8)
Boy you say the same thing
Every other day i mean
If you wanna play games
You can get our stuff and (be out x8)
I can find a better man
Who can treat me better than
Why you acting jealous man
Boy you better understand
[V2]
It's gonna take your heart and soul to be committed
Cause what you doing now
Just not gonna work
And even though I love you boy
I refuse to just let you do it again and pretend
Like it ain't happening
Because I'm not gonna throw away time
And I'm too young to be living my life
With someone who never tries to compromise
So i (don't need to say it twice you need to do this right
For me and no one else your thinking about yourself
Make me feel you care for me)
[Chorus]
And when you talk about love
you talkn about shit
Respects not just an option
Dedication is what you need
And when you talk about us
It's the way it's supposed to be
But talking just ain't enough
I need a man who can understand
Who's always there
