Saw her on a Friday outside someone run down saloon She was cryin over someone she felt left 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 off the ground with half a wink she asked me would I use 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 everything I thought that she might be She's a dandelion she looks like everything I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on I just be poison but I took he took me to his roof top He said are you afraid of heights I said no I am not He said hey girl don't you lie to me tell me everything you feel we danced around in circles He said I think we found something real She's a dandelion up on her cliff above the sea she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be she's a dandelion she looks like everything I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on <♪> Down in union square I saw her walking all alone I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown she met someone on seventeenth that she knew him all too well my little piece of heaven has a secret she won't tell with half a smile she took his hand and then they walked away I realized I would not 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 everything I thought that she might be she's a dandelion she looks like everything I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed Then I hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on And I tell myself hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on She's a dandelion up on her cliff above the sea she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be She's a dandelion she looks like everything I need I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
