I never met a lady
Quite as pretty as Melody Dean
And when I laid my head down on her
heart it beated out your name
And so I had to
listen to her
heart beat several hundred times and
She was very
nice about it
Held my hand and didn't mind
I never put my foot in the same
River twice I don't like getting wet
You take the good you take the bad
You take it all and that is all you get
The fact is you would rather I be
lonely in a bathtub with a book
The fact is you would rather I sat
Pining on our pictures from New York
New York, New York, New York
I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like the song says
I don't like picking sides I don't like
Sticking my Sharona in a box
I like to spread her out on different
Crackers, yeah I like the way she looks
And when I go to bed at night with
Melody undressing in my head
To get tot sleep you know that I would
Rather be undressing you instead
Instead, instead, instead
I never met a lady quite as
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you I want to get me off
But you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
(Instrumental break follows the exact same pattern)
I never cross the Continental
Divide without thinking about you
I am a tree that's carved up with her
Name she is a warrior tattoo
And the fact is you're selective about
what you can remember for a start
The fact is you're just jealous as all
Get out we can do it in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark
I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
All I want's to love the one I'm with
Just like Steven Stills says
I never met a lady quite as
Pretty as Melody Dean and
Even though I know you are a little bit angry with me
You know that it is you I love
And you I want to get me off
But you can only do that when you're here
And right now you are not
