MacArthur Park Suite: MacArthur Park / One of a Kind / Heaven Knows / MacArthur Park (reprise)
guitar chords lyrics
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
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
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!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Foaming like a wave
Oh, no!
I recall the yellow cotton dress
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
Someone left the cake out in the rain
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!
[break]
There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
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
I will take my life into my hands and I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes 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
[break]
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
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, no
Oh no!
.: One Of a Kind:.
You're one of a kind
I gotta have ya
well you're one of a kind
I need to have ya
Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart
You're one of a kind
you've got magic
I know you're one of a kind
baby you're static
Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart
Right from the start
you tore me apart
you took the best part of my heart
Body and soul
you took me out of control
you stole the best part of my heart
...Heaven Knows...
Baby please,
baby please don't take your love from me
I am yours forever more,
'till eternity
silently please, listen to the words I say well
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please
Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need
Down inside,
don't get caught with foolish pride
put all the other things aside,
there's only you and me
believe in us,
we were always meant to be
me for you and you for me,
'till eternity
Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave
Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need
Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave
Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave
