Melody you're my oldest friend

I can talk to you

What a day it's been out there

In the madden crush

Another day's gone dying in the dust



Melody, listen for the phone

While I change my clothes

He knows by now I'm home

Three days waiting took its toil

This trying to type and crying

It's getting old



Melody, remember long summer days

Playing grown ups in the city

Mama saying sweet dreams sleepy heads

Tuck in bed with you, my favorite dolly



Oh Melody, with your raggedy charms

I have looked for love in a stranger's arms

Scared of going home, for what they'll see

You know mama eyes could

Always look right through

And daddy, he wouldn't be so proud of me

No, they won't understand like you, Melody
