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
<Interlude>
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
