Chance Meeting At The Tarantula

(written by John Mellencamp)

|
Hey, don't I know you from somewhere
|
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
|
In one of those back-street bars in the quarter
|
Between Desire and Honalee
|
You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's
|
I remember how we met
|
You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy
|
And you lit my cigarette
|
|
How come you can't remember?
|
This is me you're talkin' to
|
From May through September
|
It was all about me 'n you, Baby
|
It was all about me 'n you
|
|
Well it looks like to me
|
That you have conveniently forgotten everything
|
This confusion that has surrounded you
|
Is this your morality and not your brain
|
You've got a birthmark below your navel
|
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
|
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
|
From that doctor who said he loved you
|
|
How come you can't remember?
|
This is me you're talkin' to
|
From May through September
|
It was all about me 'n you, Baby
|
It was all about me 'n you
|
|
Well you told me that you lived in the wind
|
Like a bird who never touched the ground
|
And if you did you would surely die without making a sound
|
"Live, let's live", that's all you kept sayin'
|
And our summer was full of life
|
We're gonna send them a postcard, and show 'em what it's like to be alive
|
But I never wanted to leave your side
|
No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie
|
No, I never wanted to say "good-bye" baby
|
|
How come you can't remember?
|
This is me you're talkin' to
|
From May through September
|
It was all about me 'n you, Baby
|
It was all about me 'n you
|
|
