Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

She lived across the street on the fifteenth floor of the gilmore building
I saw her in the shower reaching for some soap
I knew she had to be the girl for me
And to think i probably never would have found her
If i hadn't bought that telescope

Oh, me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

I just can't understand it
Why won't you return my phone calls
Are you still mad i gave a mohawk to your cat
If you'd just say the word
I'm certain that our love would last forever and ever
Or are you too dumb to realize that

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
How can you ignore me when you know that i can't live without you
I have to go through your garbage just to learn more about you

Melanie, ooh
Oh sweet me-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

You weren't impressed when i tattooed your name across my forehead
You wouldn't listen when i promised to be true
I couldn't stand it so i jumped out from the sixteenth story window
Right above you
Now i may be dead but i still love you

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

Me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

I'm singin' me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet, sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

I'm singin' me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me

I'm singin' me-he-he-helanie
What can the problem be
Sweet me-he-he-he-helanie
Why won't you go out with me
