Melody Dean

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 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 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 But 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
