In New York this morning, it was 8am LA time |
|
And I could be there by this evening |
|
Said the girl on the airline line |
|
So I bought that ticket, and I got in that cab |
|
But I didn't make it babe |
|
To the airport like that |
|
No I wound up walkin |
|
Out by the ocean today |
|
And there were naked women |
|
Dancing in the Mermaid Parade |
|
And O Amanda did you see me today |
|
Watchin those women dancing |
|
In the Mermaid Parade |
|
And O Amanda were you with me today |
|
Watchin those women waltz by |
|
In the Mermaid Parade |
|
Now our hearts were on fire |
|
Only two weeks ago |
|
And our bodies were like live wires |
|
Down on the beach in Mexico |
|
But I came back to this city |
|
And you stayed home in LA |
|
And then our two years of marriage |
|
In two short weeks somehow just slipped away |
|
And I know all about your new man |
|
Your new older, old man |
|
And I heard that he's married |
|
O you be careful Amanda |
|
And yeah I got a new friend too |
|
And yeah she's pretty and she's small |
|
But god damn it Amanda |
|
Ah god damn it all |
|
I went out walkin |
|
Out by the ocean today |
|
And there were naked women dancing |
|
Dancing in the Mermaid Parade |
|
And O Amanda did you see me today |
|
Watchin those women dancing |
|
In the Mermaid Parade |
|
And O Amanda were you with me today |
|
Watching those women waltz by |
|
In the Mermaid Parade |
|
And O Amanda were you with me today, no |
|
Watching those women waltz by In the Mermaid Parade |
