| 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 heartbeat
|
| 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
|
| But 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 Cherona 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 to 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
|
| 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
|
| But I get torn to pieces for the stupidest reasons
|
| All I want’s to love the one I’m with
|
| Like Stephen 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 |
