I saw her on a Friday outside some run down saloon
She was cryin' over someone that 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 "What are you, 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 a 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 might 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,
She said "I think we found something real."
She's a dandelion
Up on a 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
And 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 wouldn't 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 a 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
And I 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 a 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
