I knew what time you caught your bus
But I didn’t know what time it was
I’d like to catch you in the subway
It’s looking like it won’t be that way

How long, how long, will you blame me?
How long, how long, Melanie?

I crawled around and I tried to find
Anything that could change your mind
You must know by now that I accept defeat
But your desolate kitchen remains incomplete

How long, how long, will you blame me?
How long, how long, Melanie?

I couldn’t help but to feel strange
When I know that my luck won’t change
I’d tear my heart out for you
But I’d have nobody to give it to
