MELISSA

Written by: Jim Senderhauf
=============================

I knew that girls adored me, when I was just 15.

They called me Pretty Boy, I was a sex machine.
    
There was a girl in shop class, She sat across from me.

Her name was Melissa, sometimes she'd look at me... Melissa.


Melissa, won't you please... sit by me

Melissa, won't you please - take - my

Gumball machine that I made for you

If you don't, I know I'll die... Melissa.

 
As the winter slowly slipped by

At the sander and the lathe

Oh sweet, sweet... sweet Melissa

Her heart began to cave...  Melissa.


Springtime came, That was my chance.

To ask Melissa to the dance...

When it ended, then she'd see.
 
Her dream was only me... Melissa
  

Melissa, won't you please take me home tonight?

Take me inside, no, I won't bite.

I know your mama's home, your daddy too.

Just wanna hold hands with you, Melissa...


That night slipped by without...  a word.

I lost my spine and...  my nerve.

I will always regret...   That day we never met...

Cause I could not say these words to you...
Melissa...    (Back to Chorus.... then Top Verse)
