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
|
