Melissa don't think
she's pretty no more
Starin at the stars
through her back screen door
she tried and tried
to make it all work out
no matter what she does
she's left standin in the middle of doubt
in a lonely night
and in the pouring rain you can count on me
(chorus)
sometimes she cries
when she's alone at night
sometimes she weeps
when she's feelin cold and weak
sometimes the pain
it just tears her up inside
sometimes she cries
ooooo.... i wonder why?
melissa don't have
a lover anymore
plays with her pillow
stares at the bedroom floor
used to have a million
they've come and gone..
no matter what she does,
she cant figure out what she's doin' wrong
in a lonely night
and in the pouring rain you can count on me
(repeat chorus)
living
loving
givin evrything youve got
after all the heartache
MAYBE GIVE LOVE JUST ONE MORE SHOT yeah...
(solo)
in a lonely night
and in the pouring rain..
THE ONLY THING I REALLY WANNA KNOW IS WHY...
(repeat chorus.. fade)
