Chance Meeting at The Tarantula - John Mellencamp
Hey, don't I know you from somewhere
Yeah, it was down in New Orleans
In one of those backstreet bars in the Quarter Quarter
Between Street Desire and Honalee
You were dancin' with a friend of Michael's
I remember how we met
You were talkin' to ol' Jimmy
And you lit my cigarette
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin to
From May through September
It was all about me and you, baby
It was all about me and you
Well it looks like to me
That you have conveniently
Forgotten everything
This confusion that has surrounded you
Is your morality and not your brain
You've got a birthmark below your navel
You wear a size seven and a half shoe
You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed
From that doctor who said he loved you
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin to
From May through September
It was all about me and you, baby
It was all about me and you
Well you told me that you lived on the wind
Like a bird who never touched the ground
And if you did you would surely die
Without making a sound
Live, let's live, that's all you kept sayin'
And our summer was full of life
We're gonna send them a postcard,
And show 'em what it's like to be alive
But I never wanted to leave your side
No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie
No, I never wanted to say good-bye, baby
How come you can't remember?
This is me you're talkin' to
From May through September
It was all about me and you, baby
It was all about me and you
