Hi,
I'm writing a song and these are two lines i jotted down:
A classy look to the opposite direction
will that just might save you from jumping on board?
and I wonder if the second sentence is correct? What I mean is to ask a rhetorical question, if the girl that looked in the other direction thinks that this action will prevent her from falling to the guy's charm ("jumping on board").
Thanks!
Shay

Re: will that might save you
It sounds grammatically incorrect (Will it...might) because:
Will it ____? is a question.
-and-
It might ______. is a statement.
So, here is an easy fix that still keeps your meaning: "Well, that just might save you..." Almost the same word, but now it's a statement rather than a question.
If you really need a question, then you could try: "You think it'll save you...?" Hope that helps :)
