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 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,
In the dark, in the dark, in 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
