lyrics

Your face is so damn pretty, but your words cut to the bone,
Your eyes tell me you love me, but your claws are clearly honed,
Sometimes I think I'm falling, but then I catch myself,
I know if I did, you'd put me back up on the shelf;

You know I'd walk a mile for you, or at least a city block,
You know I'd that I'd die for you, and you know that's only talk,
Sometimes I wonder if you fell, what would I say and do,
But I know you never will, that just wouldn't be you;

And oh, Sweet Melinda
Don't you ever feel the need to change,
Oh, sweet Melinda,
Keep on being wild, loud and strange

Somedays you're lovely as the sun, some days you're just a bitch,
I never know which one will come, I can't predict the switch,
Sometimes I want to hold you, and sometimes push you away,
Sometimes I wish that you were here, sometimes you'd would go away;

But oh, Sweet Melinda,
Don't you ever think that I don't care,
Oh, sweet Melinda,
If you want me 'round, I'll be there

Don't ever take me serious, when I say that you're for me
There'll be no grand gestures, no bending of the knee,
But I'll hold your hand and stroke your hair, should you feel down,
And I'll gladly share your spirits, when we have demons to drown,

And oh, Sweet Melinda
You know damn well I love you so
But oh, Sweet Melinda
In what way, I just don't know

And oh, Sweet Melinda
I know you think it's just a game
But oh, Sweet Melinda
I know you love me just the same
I know you love me just the same
