Melanie

[Verse 1]

Melanie

Looks a lot like Stephanie

She looks a lot like Jane

Who looks a lot like Amy

Who looks a lot like Emily

Melanie

I wonder what she's tellin' me now

How she's twenty grand in debt, or someone famous that she slept with

Or how everybody loves her, what drugs she doesn't take, but

I don't really know why I talk to her

I guess 'cause she has big fat eyes

Swallows awkward silences so you don't even have to try

Besides, she never really talks to you

She's always looking 'cross the room

At someone who just came inside

[Chorus]

Melanie (Melanie)

How the hell'd she get to be the way that she is? (Melanie)

How could anyone ever say they really loved her? (Melanie)

I feel sorry for her unborn kids (Melanie)

[Verse 2]

Melanie

She looks so heavenly, she's nature's great creation

She better be

She has no female friends, and she's not much for conversation

Melanie

Are you really as mentally as dead as you seem?

I wanna rip you apart at the seams

Just to know what's inside but I'm afraid of what I'll see

I know, I know, I know, I know she'll be in the front row at the show

She used to date someone in the band

She drinks until she can hardly stand

Some sucker holds her hand

While she throws up in the van

[Chorus]

Melanie (Melanie)

How the hell'd she get to be the way that she is? (Melanie)

How could anyone ever say they really loved her? (Melanie)

I feel sorry for her unborn kids (Melanie)

[Post-Chorus]

Melanie (Melanie)

Looks a lot like Bethany (Melanie)

She looks a lot like Tiffany (Melanie)

She looks a lot like Natalie (Melanie)

[Bridge: Trungo Ngo]

They ought to put you away

'Cause you're too good-looking

They ought to put you in chains

Before you get your hooks in

They ought to smack you around, they ought to cut off your tongue

They ought to shave off your eyebrows, send you to a nun

They ought to get you a job 'cause you have too much fun

They ought to carve you in marble, sell you by the ton, oh

[Outro: Trung Ngo]
