Melanie is sweet
A vision on her feet, so young so fair
A bridge of iron standing tall
Between two parted spheresShe's a novelty of reality
Though she tried so hard, my sweet, darling MelanieShe's glad for what she's had
Her mom and several dads so she complained
This modern love affair
With life can really get you downShe's a novelty of reality
But she tried so hard, my sweet, darling MelanieOoh, but life goes on
Ooh, the same old song
Ooh, but love's seems such a mystery
So you worked so hard and my sweet, darling MelanieOver the horizon
Birds of paradise sit in her eyes
You can feel forever
On her sweet and silken sighsShe's novelty of reality
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling MelanieLa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, laShe's novelty of reality
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
(So she tried so hard, my sweet, darling Melanie)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
So she tried so hard and my sweet, darling Melanie
