Saw her on a friday outside someones dance saloon She was crying over someone that she felt love much too soon I said: "Hey girl don't you cry tonight, let me take you out on this town" She looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed of the ground With half a wink she asked me "What are you some kind of creep?" I told her "No I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep" The moon hung over Soho and I counted 16 stars I pointed at the brightest one and said "Now that one's ours" She's a dandelion up on her hill, above the sea She's not exactly everythin I thought that she might be She's a dandelion, she looks like everythin I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed And I hold on hold on hold on, hold on hold on hold on I just might be poison but he took me to his roof top He said "Are you affraid of hights?" I said "No I am not" He said "Hey girl don't you lie to me, tell me everythin you feel" We danced around in circles, he said "I think we felt somethin real" She's a dandelion up on her cliff, above the sea She's not exactly everythin I thought that she might be She's a dandelion, she looks like everythin I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed And I hold on hold on hold on, and I hold on hold on hold on Down in Union Square I saw her walking all alone I walked a little slower just so I remain unknown She met someone on 17 think she knew him all to well My little piece of heaven has a secret she won't tell Without the smile she took his hand and then they walked away I realised I wouldn't see my girl after today I fell in love with a dandelion and she's all I ever had At first she looked so sweet but in the end she tastes so bad She's a dandelion up on her cliff, above the sea She's not exactly everythin I thought that she might be She's a dandelion, she looks like everythin I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed And I hold on hold on hold on, and I hold on hold on hold on And I tell myself hold on hold on hold on, and hold on hold on hold on She's a dandelion up on her cliff, above the sea She's not exactly everythin I thought that she might be She's a dandelion, she looks like everythin I need
