Melody Cool

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've seen a many bridges in my time and crossed every one of 'em

With no trouble at all (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I had trials and tribulations, heartaches and pains

(Well, that's alright)

Survived 'em all baby (Uh-huh, say it, say it!)

I'm still Melody and I'm still Cool (Melody Cool)

They call me Melody Cool {"Melody" repeats thru in BG}

I was here long before U

If U're good I will love ya, but I'm nobody's fool

I'm Melody Cool

When I was born, there were tidal waves

Whole town went under, nobody saved

At every funeral it rained every time I sang Melody Cool

I have been here much longer, longer than U

I'm Melody Cool

Well now, everybody runnin' 'round talkin' 'bout saving souls

When they know good and plenty well

They got enough trouble tryin' 2 save their own

(Ah, that's alright) (Say it, say it)

Go on, go on

Every woman and every man

One day they just got 2 understand

That if we play in the same key everything will be Melody Cool

(What's your name?)

New power, wave your hand

Everybody sing out across the land

I said "Hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)

Say "Hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)

Everybody say "Hey, hey, hey" (Hey, hey, hey)

They call me Melody Cool

Looka here young'n

Let me give U a piece of good advice

And I do get paid for counseling

It ain't no BIG I's and little U's in my life

So that's why U see

They call me Melody Cool (Melody Cool)

I was here long before U (Long before U)

If U're good I will love U, but I'm nobody's fool

I'm Melody Cool

(Melody Cool) {"Melody Cool" repeats to fade}

(Long before U)
