You bend down on one knee
crying mercy, Judge, clemency
as I'm copping a plea
Only you,
Melissa Melou
When I've gone through a hell
of which I can't speak
You redeem and annoint me up cripple creek
When feeling blue.
You're my fuel, and my glue.
Melissa,
Melisssa, Melou
You shelter me when I stutter and stumble
Your pillow talk speak
is my snore, wheeze, and grumble.
Whispering softly how much you care.
I can't explain why,
but you've always been there.
An unbreakable bond between me and you.
Melissa
Melissa Melou
I'd shout from the mountaintops
Proud preach from the rafters
to anyone there.
If you died or you left me
I'd be a disaster.
Your love's a king's ransom
a limitless pleasure
Truth, faith and devotion
a love beyond measure.
What good deeds did I do
To be granted
the luck of the irish when I found you.
My darling
Melissa
Melou
You rattle the bars
and sneer at the guards
cheering me on
when my jail house key
has been swallowed and gone
There's no skip in you
What more can be said
How much more can I do
Than to rejoice in my good fortune
finding a treasure like you
Melissa Melissa
Melou
