Ray Stevens - Melissa lyrics
[Ray Stevens - Melissa lyrics]
I met her in Boston early last autumn
When I was in town for a show
She is a teacher, I am a picker
How we met I'll never know
But we’ve got a mutual friend who's a
Fellow plays cello with the Boston Pops
She is of Hamlisch
I am of Haggard we were a sure bet flop
My, my Melissa
Why am I missing you? Melissa we're just
As different as we can be my, my Melissa
When I think of how I held and kissed ya
Can’t think of one difference that makes
A bit of difference to me
High fashion ladies all drive their Mercedes'
And sit with Melissa at tea
Talk of backgammon
Lunch on cold salmon and decide
Where the fountain should be
I start out my days at T-G-I Friday
On burgers and fried onion rings
We didn't plan it and don't understand it our
Love is just one of those things
My, my Melissa
Why am I missing you? Melissa we're just
As different as we can be my my Melissa
When I think of how I held and kissed ya
Can't think of one difference that makes
A bit of difference to me
She's into fine art, Picasso and Mozart
And saving the endangered whale
I am a painter of words on line paper
That I buy at the K-Mart on sale
But we share a small little time tunnel home
Where the corner of out two lives met
Regardless of weather we'll make it together
And certain we’ll never forget
Oh my Melissa why am I missing you? Melissa
We’re just as different as we can be
My, my Melissa when I think of
How I held and kissed ya
Can't think of one difference that makes
A bit of difference to me
Met her in Boston early last autumn when
I was in town for a show
When I was in town for a show
She is a teacher, I am a picker
How we met I'll never know
But we’ve got a mutual friend who's a
Fellow plays cello with the Boston Pops
She is of Hamlisch
I am of Haggard we were a sure bet flop
My, my Melissa
Why am I missing you? Melissa we're just
As different as we can be my, my Melissa
When I think of how I held and kissed ya
Can’t think of one difference that makes
A bit of difference to me
High fashion ladies all drive their Mercedes'
And sit with Melissa at tea
Talk of backgammon
Lunch on cold salmon and decide
Where the fountain should be
I start out my days at T-G-I Friday
On burgers and fried onion rings
We didn't plan it and don't understand it our
Love is just one of those things
My, my Melissa
Why am I missing you? Melissa we're just
As different as we can be my my Melissa
When I think of how I held and kissed ya
Can't think of one difference that makes
A bit of difference to me
