McArthur Park |
| Spring was never waiting for us, girl |
| It ran one step ahead |
| As we followed in the dance |
| Between the parted pages and were pressed |
| In love’s hot fevered iron |
| Like a striped pair of pants |
| I recall the yellow cotton dress |
| It was foaming like a wave |
| On the ground around your knees |
| The birds, like tender babies in your hands |
| And the old men playing |
| Checkers by the trees |
| MacArthur Park is melting in the dark |
| All the sweet green icing flowing down |
| Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain |
| And I don’t think that I can take it |
| 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I’ll never have that recipe again |
| Oh, no, oh no There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Oh, someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm |
| And never let you catch me looking at the sun |
| And after all the loves of my life |
| After all the loves of my life, you’ll still be the one |
| Little girl |
| I will take my life into my hands, I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire |
| And my passion flow like rivers through the sky |
| And after all the loves of my life |
| After all the loves of my life |
| I’ll be thinking of you |
| And wondering why |
| MacArthur Park is melting in the dark |
| All the sweet, green icing flowing down |
| Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain |
| And I don’t think that I can take it |
| 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I’ll never have that recipe again |
| Oh no, oh no, no |
