Jackson Browne - MELISSA lyrics

Melissa, I knew I just had to kiss ya

Heaven knows what I had in mind

When my eyes went blind

And you had to take me home

Because I could not find my way

Mimi, you make my glasses steamy

Heaven knows that I'll take a chance

On a girl from France

Just so long as we don't have to dance 'till dawn

Maybe baby I'm not so smart

But I know I'm not your brother

And the way you affect me

You needn't suspect me

Of falling in love with another

Daisy, your old man thinks I'm crazy

Heaven knows I used to go insane

When I heard your name

I knew what I was doin'

When I had my brain removed

Maybe baby I'm not so smart

I never claimed to be a thinker

But you gotta respect me

Cause the way you affect me

I'll never have to be a drinker

Bessie, my dreams of you are messy

Heaven knows I used to lie awake

And try to make my heart stop pounding

Long enough to take my rest
