Melissa Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Melissa

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
